4085 REVIEW DENIED If an employer admits that it would be vicariously liable under the theory of respondeat superior for negligence of an employee while driving the employer's vehicle, an action for negligently entrusting the vehicle to the employee may not also be prosecuted against it, particularly if it would make admissible evidence of the employee's driving history that is likely to be prejudicial to the employee.
