None, Corinna has witnesses and the driver doesn't. The driver is screwed.
Bazinga!
None at all. Perhaps a slight chance of arguing negligence on her part as a contributing factor, IF he has witnesses. He's still guilty of running the stop, so I'd guess even under the best of conditions he'd be found 90% at fault.
