In Wednesday morning's KANSAS CITY (MO) STAR- reporter- former co-worker and a generally nice fellow Mark Morris wrote of a court decision to allow a Missouri Highway Patrol driver's license examiner to sue a driver that caused the examiner an injury.
Mr. Morris reports that the driver's license examiner "Patricia Ivey" suffered a "shoulder" injury when the person who was taking the driver's test- "Clara Joe Nicholson-McBride-" reportedly "slammed on the brakes" as Ms. Nicholson-McBride came upon a red traffic light.
Some of my questions are:
1. How old was Clara Joe Nicholson-McBride-
2. Was Ms. Nicholson-McBridge a previous driver's license holder- and
3. Did the driver's license examiner Ms. Ivey give any command(s) to the person she was examining prior to Ms. Nicholson-McBride slamming on the brakes?
In addition- it seems that the decision by the "three-judge panel of Missouri’s Western District Court of Appeals" that overturned a Jackson County judge's original decision that stated "the driver’s license examiner had assumed the risk of such injuries when she took the job-" opens a HUGE can of worms.
Let's take for an example- a firefighter at a house fire is injured by a homeowner improper storage of flammable materials.
Will that firefighter be free to sue the homeowner due to that home owner's negligence?

Wow this is going to be interesting to follow.
Guess after all these years it must mean maybe I can go sue someone who I was trying to help on an EMS call that sort of lost it and tried to kick us all to death,
I was injured and had pain from it. Gee guess if I whine enough I could get a jury to buy it.
This is so stupid are those three judges who over turned this being tested for any sort of mine altering substance abuse?
