Practice question
A carrier accepts a passenger free of charge but obtains no limiting stipulation. After an injury it argues that a free ride alone automatically waives every negligence claim. Is that correct?
- Yes; free passengers have no contractual safety rights.
- Yes; all free transport falls outside the Civil Code.
- No; the passenger automatically owns the vehicle.
- No; Article 1758 validates a qualifying stipulation, not an automatic waiver from free carriage alone.
- Yes; only a paying passenger may ever sue.
