Are you sure about that? I always thought that if the passenger was over the age of 18 that they got the ticket and if under than you got it - much the way bicycle helmet laws work with parents.
In any case, I'd say that the piece of **** cabbie who did not signal his stop and the piece of **** passenger that didn't look share the responsibility. legally? i don't know but i guess the point is moots vamoots because we don't know who either of the pieces of **** are.
