Do you feel you should be responsible to pay........

Tell him that if he gets ticket for speeding youre not helping him pay it. beside youre not the one driving, he's the one on the wheel, not you. He is in control and not you. Its ok to chip for the gas but for screwing up, its a diff story. nad if he is really your friend, he listens to you if you tell him to slow down especially on places where speed limit is required.

i would advice my friend to slow down before we get pulled over by the police. if we're unlucky enough to get caught then i would probably offer to pay half of the ticket. He/She's my friend and i was there when everything happened so i would feel a little responsible. i know my friends, they wouldn't say no if i offer to pay for the ticket :) and i know that they would always let me ride with them :)

Slow down... definately slow down. I will pay for or help to pay for a ticket but only if it was issued for an offense he did not bring upon himself. I am not amused by persons who feel that they can speed on the roads and break rules at will. I am not keen on being driven at excessively high speeds either even though I enjoy a fast ride. Anyone I drive with will be told this from the onset so my friend would be on his own with that ticket should he be given one for speeding.

If I'm in your shoes I will ask politely this friend of mine to have his driving in normal speed. I don't like drivers who are over speeding, they are accident prone people. Of course,I will share in paying the portion of the ticket. But I will never ride with him again.

i think it is best to tell your friend to slow down a bit and that you are not really comfortable with that speed, about paying a portion should a police hand in a ticket for speed violation, not your responsibility, but as friends it helps and makes sense if you offer a hand

i feel like its both for some reason because for im a really nice person i dont make a person feel better by my words only my actions and its kinda worth atleast you solved the problem now thats responsible XD

It is definitely fine to offer some help, of course, since you're hitching anyway. But, if it gets habitual, it's much better to talk to your friend and tell your friend to slow down to avoid any more fines. Maybe, your friend is just in a hurry. We don't know but again, a few times is enough. You gotta make your friend know what your friend needs to know.

If he is driving like that for me(to catch a train or to be punctual for an event),then I have to pay completely for the ticket.but if it his nature to drive speed,then he is responsible and I am not bound to share the same.Cheers!

No way! The person driving is in complete control of the speed they go. You, as a passenger, may say something, but it is still ultimately up to the person driving. That is the risk THEY are assuming by driving over the speed limit. Therefore, if they get a ticket, it is THEIR responsibility to pay for it, not yours. The only way I would offer to pay on the ticket is if they were speeding for me, because I needed to get somewhere fast and was running late. That would be it. If I were the one driving, I would not expect anyone else to incur the punishment of a ticket except me, the idiot who was driving too fast.

That is definitely a tough choice. I do believe that it is the driver's choice to speed or not. So if the driver is speeding, the ticket is their responsibility. However, my situation is a bit different - I do have a car so I take turns driving. I think if you told your friend to slow down they might get offended and not want to take you anywhere anymore. But if you knew of a speed trap, they would probably appreciate you warning them with a simple 'the cops sit here often'

I would definitely tell my speeding friend to slow down. I would also warn them that if they get a speeding ticket, you are not responsible. If you wanted, out of the kindness of your heart you could help pay your friends speeding ticket, but personally I wouldn't do that. I would let my friend learn the hard way. It's tough love! Good Luck and I hope you guys don't get pulled over for speeding!

I would make the gesture of offering to pay for part of the ticket. after all i had been getting free rides for a long time and i want to continue to get free rides. there is a good probability they will not even accept your money but will appreciate your offer.

I'd ask my friend to slow down. Whether their driving or I am it doesn't give us the right to put eachother in danger. Now if your just a couple mph over or under I'm not going to say anything. Half the time I don't notice how fast someone else is driving anyways, but if they speed, it's their ticket. The driver takes control of everything that happens with the vehicle and it is their responsibility to obey the law. Maybe just telling them will help because people often lose track of the speed limit or aren't paying close enough attention to that. I know I've looked down and had to slow down quite often in the past.

That is a complicated one... Firstly you could try asking him/her if they notice that they tend to speed. You could tell them to be more careful next time. YOu could pay a part of the ticket as an act of kindness towards that friend, but since they were driving they are responsible for their own acts while driving. I hope this helps.

IF he gets a speeding ticket i wouldn't feel obligated to help pay it at all. He knows better & u certainly weren't encouraging him to speed i'm sure. The only thing i would feel obligated to do was to help pay for part of the gas since he was nice enough to let me ride.

hmmm.. this is a hard one! I would probably forst mention to the friend that they are speeding as they may not have noticed. If they chose to carry on speeding then it is them that is driving over the speed limit and them that has been told therefore you are not liable. It might be nice of the person gettiing the lift to offer some money towards the ticket as they were in the car but the person driving probably wouldnt take it. It depends on the personality of the friends I guess.
