I just hope the court realizes there were two bad decisions made that day. One was choosing to drive and the other was choosing to ride. I hate these situations. I’ve had friends in this same situation on both sides of it. The ones that made it are serving a life sentence regardless of the law. It’s never good. I can’t say we’ve all been there but a lot of us have been the driver and the rider a bunch of times we shouldn’t have. I wish younger adults would listen when I try to tell them it’s fraking stupid but it always falls on deaf ears because it’s just having “fun”.
