paraphrase:

It is sufficient to remark that where the defendant and the plaintiff have a common residence, domicile, or nationality and have some other link between them, such as driving in the same vehicle-the case for deviation from the lex loci delicti is strong.

It should be noted that if the defendant and plaintiff both live in the same place, have the same nationality, or share another connection such as traveling together, there is a strong argument for deviating from the local law where the incident took place.
