Professor Henderson suggests that a place still exists in the law of torts for using the "hypothetical case" as a limit on the scope of liability. In making this suggestion, he disagrees with Professor E. Wayne Thode's argument in 46 Texas L. Rev. 423 (1968) that "duty" should be the sole repository of liability-limiting policy decisions in negligence cases. Professor Henderson proposes the creation of a new causation issue--cause in fact of harm to the plaintiff--that earlier defenders of causation-as-a-policy-issue seem to have overlooked.

What are the consequences of the application of legal sanctions? How can these consequences be determined? This Article attempts to explore these questions in the limited field of highway safety, examining the available evidence and indicating areas where further investigation is essential. Although conclusions with respect to the general deterrent effect of traffic laws do not emerge, the parameters of the problem are defined and plausible hypotheses suggested.
