Editing Concurrence (section)

==The problem==
Not all events are limited to a particular moment in time. The normal physical rules of [[causation (law)|cause]] and effect may see a series of interlocking circumstances conspire to cause a particular injury. If the facts of the example above are slightly changed so that the accident occurs at night at a sharp bend on a very quiet country road; when the driver sees the victim lying in the road he simply leaves the unconscious person where he fell. Some hours later, when a second car innocently comes around the corner and kills the victim, the first driver is happily asleep in his bed. Thus, he argues that, at the time of the death, he had no ''mens rea'' and so cannot be guilty of homicide. This argument fails because of the so-called ''Single Transaction Principle''.
