Backlash is deepening over drivers being ordered to pay hundreds of dollars in fines for infringements incurred by their passengers

What backlash? It has been the law in my country for decades.

Roads are public places and I expect perfect behavior from every driver. The driver has a duty to check and take care of the passengers. If a passenger did that to me, he would get out of the car and walk. I don't want to have a random death on my conscience.

Feel free to downvote, but I believe that half of the drivers should have their license revoked because they suck and are dangerous.

Also it's completely unrelated to AI, that guy fucked around and found out.
