Final Ruling in the Llucmajor Highway Case: What the Verdict Really Means

Answer

Why was the driver in the Llucmajor case considered responsible?

The courts found that the driver knew about the dangerous situation and continued driving instead of stopping or intervening. That was enough for the judges to treat him as jointly responsible, even though the defense argued he was only a witness or at most guilty by omission. The legal distinction between direct action and failing to act mattered greatly in the case.
