David is an experienced fireman with the NSW Fire Brigades.  On 1 December 2009, he  was ordered by his supervisor to drive a fire engine vehicle at a very high speed along a  country road with the lights flashing and bell sounding.   
 
David could see the driver of the car ahead, Peter, had become agitated, but he kept going.   Peter, without wearing a seat belt, panicked in trying to make room for the fire engine and collided with a lamp post.  Fortunately, Peter was not seriously hurt but was taken by
an ambulance to a nearby hospital for examination.  On the way, the ambulance was  involved in another car accident and Peter sustained two broken legs.  Peter would like to  claim for medical expenses of $10,000 and loss of income of $20,000 while the injury  subsisted. 
 
Advise Peter of his legal rights in tort.
