    Drunk driver is the only one at fault here?

    So a young lad has brain damage, and his family are having a whine about the driver of the car that caused it.
    What about there little angel who got into the car, did no-one in the car know that the driver was four times the limit, did no-one try and slow him down?
    Sure the driver was way in the wrong but the but take some of the responsibility yourself for being part of it all.

    But srsly. People dont like taking responsibility for shit. Self criticism bruises their ego, blaming others is easier, and free.

    Yeah, the best way we can improve the world is stopping people for blaming others.

    Compulsory helmets for car passengers is the only sensible answer.

    Don't forget Hi-vis. If only they had worn Hi-Vis jackets they would still be alive today.

    It's sad to see the ongoing lack of common sense. Everything that ever goes wrong is someone else's fault.

    When I find that Someone Else I'll sort that dangerous bastard out.
