I do not agree with the lid issue. Who really expects that the lid of a cheap pLastic pot is 100% safe and tight, regardless of how rough it is handled? It is something to avoid spillage when transported, not something to enable people to drink while the cup is upside down. I think, a minimum of care when handling hot beverages should be expected - and handling hot coffee while driving is not what courts should encourage.

I'm not so sure the lid was an issue in this case. If you read Rex's link you will note that the women was removing the lid when she spilled it. But yea I agree with you.
