Legal and Liability Aspects - Courts often examined whether negligence was attributable to the driver, the vehicle's position, or other factors. In some instances, negligence of the deceased or the vehicle being on the wrong side was upheld, affecting compensation claims. For example, source Gujarat Dairy Development Corporation Ltd. VS Shardaben - Gujarat discusses a case where the vehicle was on the wrong side, resulting in the accident.
