text: Not only your putting yourself in harm but you're also placing the passenger life in danger, as matter of fact their lives are just as important as yours, so you shouldn't be careless. Over 37,000 people die in accidents, and which 20% of it were the other people in the car. I am sure that they didn't want to be a part of those database and being in the position to where their life could be end with a terrible outcome. It can cause them to be paralyzed to where they would rather had die in the accident because you the driver decided to not care about the other person in the car. By you not being responsible you took everything away from them. They will never be active how they were before the accident ever again.
