Five seatbelt violations and two speeding tickets plus one mystery criminal misdemeanor since 1996...he wasn’t exactly known for being safety conscious! Most of us would have made sure to wear a seatbelt after the first infraction in 1996. That says a lot about his judgement IMO.
Continuing & to emphasise your point Lilbet......this suggests to me ( in my opinion) someone who shows a flagrant disregard for the law, which is in place for the health & safety of the driver & of passengers travelling in the same vehicle.
It also suggests to me ( in my opinion) someone who feels he is ‘above the law’ & a person like this (in my opinion) might also feel he was ‘above’ the rules & regulations laid down by the cruise company for the safety of their passengers.
Finally....had I been in a similar situation ( heaven forbid) I would have willingly taken a breathalyser test, to prove beyond doubt that alcohol had not been a factor in this terrible accident.
[ Incidentally here in the UK refusal to take a breathalyser test when requested by the police ( or if unable to give a breath test, a blood/urine sample) would result in arrest & a charge & the penalties for refusing to provide a specimen are steep]
