4 later decisions quote this exact passage“Strutz claims that if you find that she violated the law in the operation of the vehicle, she had a legal excuse for doing so because she was confronted with a sudden emergency and, therefore, is not negligent. A sudden emergency -is a combination of circumstances that calls for immediate action or a sudden or unexpected occasion for action. A driver of a vehicle who, through no fault of her own, is placed in a sudden emergency, is not chargeable with negligence if the driver exercises that degree of care which a reasonably careful person would have exercised under the same or similar circumstances.”
