Hudson-Connor v. Putney
192 Or. App. 488, 86 P.3d 106 (2004)
Facts: Defendant allowed an 11 year old boy to drive her golf cart. The boy made a mistake and hit the plaintiff, breaking her leg.
Procedure: Trial court found for the defendant.
Issue: Should the defendant be held to an adult standard of care?
Holding: No.
Reasoning: Since golf carts are not inherently dangerous and the operation of one by a minor is not an adult activity, the handing over of one to another minor is also not an adult activity.
