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?

      Fine, you want me to be explicit?

      If you’re driving and I’ll jump onto the road right in front of you, will you still be at fault?

      Yes. I would be at fault. I’m the one driving a hunk of metal that is capable of easily killing people, you could be drunk, delirious, it doesn’t matter. It’s on me.

      Where in the world would that be the case?

      I say everywhere.

      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!”

      Irrelevant. Streets are not supposed to be deathtraps. No one deserves to die simply by wandering into the street. Again, drunk, delirious, or a child - none of them deserve to die because they wandered into the street.

      If someone robbed you, think about it this way - if you hadn’t been there, none of it would have happened.

      Again, victim blaming. It is not the victims fault. It doesn’t matter that they were there, if they had 100 sticking out of their pocket. Still robbery. It doesn’t matter if a woman is revealing “too much”. Still rape. It doesn’t matter why a person was in the street. They’re still dead.

      If you don’t appreciate what you’re capable of when you’re driving, then you shouldn’t be driving.
