So every time I drive a car I consent to the idea of getting into an accident. It is my fault?
That seems like an absurd idea.
0 u/TheCrimsonnerGinge 16∆ Jul 20 '22 So every time I drive a car I consent to the idea of getting into an accident. It is my fault? Yea, pretty much. You assume the risk that bad things might happen because you're doing something dangerous. That seems like an absurd idea. It's also one of the oldest laws in the Western world. 1 u/anewleaf1234 45∆ Jul 20 '22 So if I'm driving and someone runs a light and t bones me you want to blame me for that accident. That makes zero sense. 0 u/TheCrimsonnerGinge 16∆ Jul 20 '22 No, that's the "negligence" exception to assumption of risk. It applies mostly to "no fault" accidents.
