@TDCN @joland replacing car with gun or riffle makes it even more absurd. You saying that if I lend a riffle to someone on a hunt, I should bear the consequences for their actions if they miss and hit something? Thankfully the law in rest of Scandinavia isn’t as insane…
- There's a significant difference between an accident and deliberately being wrekless
  
  @TDCN There is nothing about being “wreckless” when borrowing something to someone else. If person has a valid driving license that is all that matters. We ain’t even taking about lending a car to a obviously drunk idiot which is punishable.
  
  But the law will definitely make me think twice before lending my car to anyone.
  
  @TDCN And it is outright harmful to the environment, car pooling is a thing.
  
  Yes carpooling is a thing but this law literally has nothing to do with this so I don't get your point.
  
  @TDCN Your literally lending a car. And if you lend it to some idiot, you have no car.
  
  Exactly. Don't lend your car to an idiot. It's your car so also your responsibility. Keep it safe.
  
  @TDCN it is a pool. You don’t know who you are lending too.
  
  Okay then I don't understand your way of car pooling. It's not really thing here since it's either impractical or public transport is way better or biking is a possibility
