Of course not, but that still doesn't change the fact that he didn't have one on. And if the driver was drunk, even more reason for the passenger to get the fuck out of the car.

You can't win an argument with me on DUI.. I was an MP - and I only ever ONCE busted a guy for DUI, but the assault charges were much worse, which is why he got busted for DUI. I took people home, and for damn good reason.
Why ruin a life of a young person, or any person? When the system is designed to FUCK you over, just in design.
Think about it.. Bars, clubs, hotels, restaurants, gas stations, food stores, even the Police ball, fireman fund raises, the military and veteran organizations, and the list goes on and on.. all have promos or parties, selling/serving beer and drinks - and yet.... they have no responsibility to get you home safe.. They know you are blasted - they look the other way as you walk out the door with keys in hand.
These companies and the city should all be forced to pay a tax, that will cover free public transportation for people who want to drink. Even the smallest, home bar, should be forced to do this.. For me to take a cab home it's $60 - doing so I bet would turn up a lot more cities turning dry.
Now, if you had something like this, and then you were DUI, well.. max to the limits then.
