Welcome to the 21 century. Yes he should have known better but manufacture is also to blame. They were aware of having a problem with a vehicle and refuse to fix till later date. No were dose it say read the manual before u drive the car it may save your life. Allot of people don't have time to read the manual from one to the other end so they can find out what kind of problem is known about this vehicle. When the consumer buys the car they assume that the car is safe to be driven with out having to do anything special.

As for the cup of hot coffee, yes the person should have known but the restaurant should have also known that people may do it and have not made it so hot. Or at least as they did after the fact put warning label to let a person known that the restaurant made the coffee so hot that it may burn them if spilled.
