During a trial, the plaintiff seeks to introduce evidence that a driver involved in an accident always places their keys on the dashboard before turning on the ignition. Which type of evidence would this scenario most likely exemplify?
The correct answer is evidence of habit because habit refers to a person’s regular response to a specific set of circumstances, whereas character evidence pertains to a person’s general disposition or behavioral traits. The described behavior—placing the keys on the dashboard before turning on the ignition—is a detailed, specific, and regular action that qualifies as a habit. Other choices provided relate to broader behavioral concepts or improper usage of evidence.
