So how is it Toyota’s fault that the drunken teen crashed the car?
A more appropriate target would have been the Feds for the CAFE standards. Of course in a sane world, which we no longer have, the blame would have been 50% on the drunk teen and 50% on her for getting in the car with a drunk driver.
She claims that the lap belt wasn’t enough and the car should have had a shoulder harness also. Blame the Feds for not mandating it, not the car maker!
Toyota forced the teen to drink and drive.
It was a California jury. They'll give money to anyone. I'm sure this will get appealed. I doubt she'll see a dime.

Bigger pocketbook than tean or insurance company.
