I understand your point but it is not the law that is unfair, it is the
brother was not carefull with the car that of his sister. If you borrow
something you have to be carefull with it. It is not yours. If it is your
own car you you can do with it what you want. If I borrow your AT, you make
sure that you get it back. If I get caught and the AT is confiscated then I
have to get you a similar one. Or else you would kill me, right ?

These are just things that will pass. If people are used to the rule then
they will not lend their cars to people who are not reponsible enough to
drive them.
