Answer :

Answer:

negligence per se and hence it is true.

Explanation:

"Negligence per se" may be defined as a principle or a law of the United States federal government where an act is considered to be a negligent as it violates a regulation or a statute. This doctrine is a form of strict liability for the citizens.

In the context, the local authorities of Texas have passed an ordinance that all vehicles must keep at least a distance of three feet clearance when they passes a bicycle. But Ted violated this ordinance and hits Zoey with his vehicle. So his act is considered as >negligence per se".
