Ya Burnt!
If a person is smoking a cigarette and that person tosses the butt on the ground and on the way down it hits another person and burns his or her flesh, does the burner become legally and/or financially responsible should the burned need medical attention? Or does everyone just go on with life?
This is the type of question that has plagued my mind over the last week. Mostly because I keep seeing these idiots smoking cigarettes on bikes. And I can’t help but think how one of those idiots could get away with burning an innocent person simply because they are already in the process of getting away!
BUT!
What if a bike smoker hits a pedestrian (it happens and its not as funny as it sounds) and in the process loses control of the cigarette and burns the pedestrian…or a third party?!
No I haven’t been burned recently. But I do walk dogs all day. And they don’t wear shoes. I stamp out at least two or three per day with them in mind so someone else’s dog doesn’t have to suffer.
I think I need less free thinking time.
