Guest statute——搭車人法令、搭車者條例、乘客條款

state law which sets standards of care by the driver of a car to a non-paying passenger. Although state laws vary， the basic concept is that the social passenger can bring suit for negligence against the driver for gross negligence only if the driver could have foreseen that his/her actions or car could put the rider in great peril.
    【注】 所謂的guest statute （搭車人法令），是指美國有的州法律規(guī)定搭車者因車主不慎而在交通事故中受到傷害，不得向車主要求賠償，其目的主要是制止搭車者對車主忘恩負(fù)義的行為以及防止車主和客人合謀制造事故，騙取保險(xiǎn)賠償。
