Followed by the counterclaim of while there is always the option of Florida raising the fine or considering that this offense shouldn’t be secondary, people who are inside of a vehicle also need to reconsider what they are doing while operating heavy machinery.

Since there was not intent to trespass and not an extra hazardous activity, the plaintiff could not collect money for her injury. This relates to class because it discusses responsibility of personal property (the defendants pickup truck). He is responsible for making sure there are no rocks (or hazardous material) in his tires possibly acting as a threat to others.

It also relates because the plaintiff was arguing that the rock trespassed onto her yard from the highway and acted as a threat to her causing injury.
