I can’t get a good answer for this as Google is thinking I’m talking just solely on the driver. I’m including passengers who don’t. I’ve seen PSAs that tell you the dangers you pose for others as well when you don’t wear a seatbelt. So if you don’t wear a seatbelt and that results in someone being killed could you not wearing a seatbelt mean you get a manslaughter charge?

    I’m sorry, but this kind of logic just baffles me. Are you talking out of your ass on this one? If you’re driving and I’ll jump onto the road right in front of you, will you still be at fault? Where in the world would that be the case? If I come to a factory and stick my hand into a wood chipper that someone was operating and then say “whoever the hell was operating this 5 thousand pound hunk of steel should be at fault now!”, would I be correct in my logic?

    Think about it this way - if you hadn’t been there driving would they have been fine? If so, you caused it, you’re at fault

    This is next level mental gymnastics. If someone robbed you, think about it this way - if you hadn’t been there, none of it would have happened. So maybe you’re at fault after all
