2599 REVIEW DENIED In an accident involving a pedestrian who was injured when a vehicle jumped the curb and struck her, a defendant who parked his car on the sidewalk did not thereby violate a common law duty of reasonable care, because it was not foreseeable that parking a car on the sidewalk will cause another vehicle to jump the curb and strike a pedestrian; the Vehicle Code section that prohibits parking on the sidewalk was not intended to protect pedestrians against passing vehicles that might jump the curb and strike them on the sidewalk, so its violation does not create a presumption of negligence (i.e., negligence per se).CitationVICTOR v HEDGES (Sidewalk Parking) 77 CA4 229 [See: VehC 22500; EvC 669; Rowland v Christian 69 C2 108; Nunneley v Edgar 36 C2 493; Robison v Six Flags 64 CA4 1294, T/AT 7/98; Gwartz v Superior Court 71 CA4 480, T/AT 5/99]
