As expected no mention of the driver being held responsible for the
action of the passenger unless the driver was also to blame and this
could be shown.

As expected, judith gets a reply which says she is wrong (i.e. that
the driver /may/ be held responsible), and uses it to pretend she is
right.

I think you will find tha the point Judith was refuting was that the driver
was responsible for the passengers actions.

The reply she quote clearly shows that she was correct::
The driver is responsible for their own actions ie if they initiate opening
the car door eg (i guess) by switching the central locking to permit the
passenger to open the door, if the passenger opens the door with no
intervetion by the driver to assist or allow than the passenger is
responsible not the driver. It may well be that the car drivers insurance
would cover the civil liability but in terms of the offence that ti
passenger alone
