Drivers fuming after losing licences over passengers' misbehaviour (www.abc.net.au)

The West's version of this story was all about how AI was causing people to get fined and lose their licenses. Even the ABC story is going on about AI catching people out.

Why are we as a society incapable of accepting responsibility for our actions? It isn't a speed camera's fault for catching you speeding. It isn't an AI's fault for catching you using a phone or not wearing seatbelts while driving.

Yeah, it's rough to be fined because your passenger wasn't wearing a seatbelt. If they're an adult, I think you should be able to nominate them as the recipient of the fine.

At least here in Sweden there is a large emphasis during driving school that you as the driver is responsible for the car that you are driving, including passengers.

You as the driver has the option to simply refuse to drive until everyone is strapped in.

You have the option to find a place to stop if someone removes the safety belt while you are driving.

It's the same here. The driver is literally in control of the car. I cracked the shits at an american girl who put a lit cigarette butt out the window which is a massive no-no in Australia.
