Driver Protection: New Rules for Riot-Related Incidents

This act introduces a new rule that may protect drivers in situations where their vehicle is involved during a riot. If someone is injured or damaged as a result of riot-related actions, and that person has been convicted of participating in a riot, the driver may be exempt from liability. This aims to ensure drivers are not held responsible for harm caused by individuals actively involved in riots.
Key points
Drivers may be protected from civil or criminal liability if damages occurred due to actions of a person convicted of riot.
A court can pause a civil case against a driver if there's an ongoing criminal case related to the riot that forms the basis for the defense.
The act aims to reduce legal risks for drivers who might find themselves in dangerous situations during riots.
