1). I think all should be treated the same (speeding/reckless/drunk/distracted) driving. Im just not sure what the appropriate treatment should be.

2). So if the passenger didnt ask to respond for you, would it make him more culpable in the the outcome of his inaction. Simularlly, if Brown were sober and didnt switch places with Brent, would he now be culpable for his death?

I dont want to go back and forth or get hypothetical, i just think that considering Brown willingly got in the car with Brent, he is responsible for his own death.
