Answer: D - No, because no evidence shows that Bob was the driver of the brown car. Based on these facts, the conclusion that Bob was negligent cannot be reached because nothing proves that Bob was driving the brown car at the time of the collision. Here, the test-taker must identify the two facts necessary to answer the question: (1) the driver of the brown car ran the red light (and was negligent), and (2) Bob is owner of the brown car. Without additional facts, mere ownership of the brown car does not prove that Bob was driving the brown car, nor does it prove liability under respondeat superior. Thus, on these facts alone, Bob was not negligent.
