the thing is that the buggy manufacturer took responsibility and advertised the fact - IIRC they took some pushing.

Re: Train development news
There is a big difference between a systems failure (e.g. automatic braking not working) and a design compromise (e.g. automatic braking not fitted).
Would we resolve a car driver of blame for rear-ending someone on the motorway because his car wasn't fitted with ABS? |

But things have been going that way for years, blame the designer, manufacturer, the police chasing, not the guy with his foot on the acceletator, where blame should be put. |

Seems like she was not meant to be in the cab. it is at times quite easy for a manager to bully a member of staff to allow this sort of thing. so if the driver refused and left the train he would still be at fault for the train not moving. I would have thought that this sort of showing off would have been drummed out of the workplace by now. ` |
