For example… Speeding

Going down the highway doing 10 oven the limit and you get pulled over an dgive a hefty ticket… But Nothing bad happened.

Another example… Letting a Tesla do full self driving but you aren’t paying attention. The car is driving itself quite well but you are ticketed for undue care and attention… But there was no accident or anything… Nothing happened.

    But at the same time you can’t hold people responsible for something that might happen but hasn’t yet

      I go around waving a gun around that’s loaded and safety off at the range. Nothing bad happens, but I took a risk that put not just myself but EVERYONE ELSE in danger.

      Yes, you can hold people responsible for doing something that has a very high probability of causing harm or injury. It doesn’t matter if it actually happens.
