I would not let the driver go 90mph in a residential area with me as a passenger. I would have more consideration for innocent bystanders.
He was an accessory to his own death. Thankfully his dumb chum and him didn't kill anyone else.
There is only so much you can do as the passenger. Maybe Paul was telling him to slow the fuck down? He certainly can't grab the wheel.
It's like a group of drunk friends in the car. If they get pulled over, it will be the driver getting arrested.
The driver makes the choice.
