It doesn't matter whether the victim had a seatbelt on. In almost all states that your responsibility as a driver to insure. Also, its illegal to drag race. Thats two things he is responsible for.. not to mention underage drinking. This isn't the civil suit where it will be factored in, as a defense, the conduct of the passenger to limit monetary liability. Criminally.. it doesn't matter what the passenger did. Plus, it shouldn't. Why shouldn't the victim's actions be taken into account? He was there to drag race with Nick. He wasn't an innocent bystander. I'm not saying that he deserved what he got, but his lack of judgement certainly helped it all happen, didn't it? still secondary, imo. like i said before, the driver of a vehicle is ultimately responsible for what happens to the car and his/her passengers. I gotta agree with Jayne on this one. The victim knew the risks, and he saw Nick seat belt himself, so why didn't he buckle himself?

They BOTH did. He was in that car with no seatbelt knowing they were going to drag-race. That's about the same as a person getting into a car with a visibibly drunk driver and then taking none of the blame if they are injured when there is an accident.

I just don't agree with the mentality of some people who want to put 100% of the blame on Nick. Bad decisions were made by both of them.

Nick was the driver, it's his responsibility to make sure his passengers are using seat belts. Was the other dude just as much fault for what happen, yes. He's a grown ass man and nobody needs to tell him to hey put your seatbelt on, don't drag race, don't ride with drunk drivers especially underage ones. But that's now how the laws are, you're driving the car, you're responsible.

I'm wondering why they didn't put him in Juvie. Kids here to a ton worse and get juvie.

Being a passenger in a car without a seatbelt isn't illegal. That is something that will be brought up to limit the damages in a civil trial. Nick's conduct was against the law.. and that is what he is being punished for alone. I get where people think his friend not wearing a seatbelt is relevant but it doesn't really have to do with the criminal issue. I'm having a hard time understanding why people aren't separating the two because its not relevant to his criminal trial since drag racing is illegal, he was drinking, and he had a passenger with no seatbelt on which depending on the state (I couldn't see the CNN feed) is also his responsibility criminally. How can they hold the other guy responsible for criminal shit Nick did? Yeah, his conduct is important as to how much the Hogan's are going to have to pay but his conduct wasn't illegal.. and Nick's was against the law.

But that's now how the laws are, you're driving the car, you're responsible. Not true in Ohio. Here the front-seat passenger pays a fine for not wearing his or her seatbelt: http://www.dmv.org/oh-ohio/safety-laws.php Seat Belt Rules for Front-Seat Riders Drivers and front-seat passengers must wear a selt belt, even if air bags are available. Drivers can get hit with a $30 fine, and passengers with a $20 fine, for ignoring the rule. However, since disobeying the seat belt rule isn't considered to be a moving offense, no points will be applied to a driving record.

How old was the passenger? http://www.dot.state.fl.us/safety/HighwaySafetyGrantProgram/hsgp/HSGPAreas_Occupant.htm Florida's current safety belt law requires all front seat occupants to be restrained, even if the vehicle is equipped with an air bag. The driver is held responsible for passengers under 18 years of age who are not buckled up. The law applies to all cars, pickup trucks and vans operated on Florida's roads. The penalty for violation is $30 plus other legal assessments. http://www.dot.state.fl.us/safety/HighwaySafetyGrantProgram/hsgp/HSGPareas_OccupantFAQ.htm#Can%20a%20passenger 1. Can a passenger in a motor vehicle be ticketed for not wearing a safety belt? Yes. All front seat occupants must buckle up, regardless of age. Passengers under the age of 18 must be belted in either the front or back seat of the vehicle.

People just don't realize how unsafe cars & alcohol are together...even just cars are pretty dangerous when you think about it. Being a passenger in a car without a seatbelt isn't illegal. I didn't know that! Here in the "Republic of California" (as my relocated-to-Nevada friend calls it) seat belts are mandatory, and you can get a ticket if you're a passenger over 16 and not wearing one (under 16 and the driver gets your ticket).
