On the facts found, the 2nd defendant did not breach the standard of a reasonable driver: his deceleration was fair/medium and not negligent or emergency braking, and there was no evidence of negligent conduct causing the sudden stop; the plaintiff failed to keep a reasonably safe distance and misjudged the intensity of deceleration, therefore liability was not proven and the claim is dismissed.
