Commentary:
Passengers in vehicles in accidents like this may wonder what their standing may be in the eyes of the law. Believe it or not, as a passenger, whenever you enter a vehicle, you also enter into a contract. This unspoken contract with the driver states that they will drive responsibly, and in a way that will hurt neither you, or anybody else, and if the driver breaches this contract they could be liable for the accident. How would they breach the contract? Speeding, racing, fast-turns, all could result in an accident, and the breach of contract.
