coffee addict -“Health,anyway the driver started driving he wasn’t gorem the driver driving”
He’s not Mechuyav to check. If the guy says -“No, I’m not.” -then the he would be Putter. If he didn’t say anything after the driver said -“Put on seatbelts” -then he is Chaiyuv, not the driver. Adults have to take responsibilty for their own actions. Goyim don’t believe in this concept -that’s why they ticket the driver. The Goyishe laws are full of this Naarishkeit -that they pass the buck. The most blatant example is the winning of a lawsuit because the person got burnt because they didn’t know coffee was hot.
