A driver followed a man with a surfboard strapped on top. The driver claims that the van stopped so quickly that the surfboard flew backward, hitting his car and causing damage. He wants the driver of the van to pay for damage to his vehicle and medical costs. You are the judge in the case. Use Newton's laws of motion to write a judgment in the case.
