Does not matter if he's an employee, son, husband or godfather of Al. The driver is ultimately responsible for control of the car. Short of a gun to your head, the driver is responsible for following traffic laws. Period.

And that's what I said earlier. It just didn't appear to be appreciated by some. Oh well.

Thanks for that.

"Does not matter if he's an employee"

Criminally no...
Unless the State can prove that AL conspired with the driver.

Civilly yes it does.

Especially with Al in the car.

Tacit permission is an acceptable in civil court.
Unless Al can prove that he tried to stop the driver.
