> Oh, I do understand it - laws are contradictory and can do whatever people shout out the most that they should do (but they don't always work that way). I just think that it is extremely bad when laws work this way.

You are completely misunderstanding GP's distinction between ownership and liability.

In short, if you use someone else's car to kill someone, you are still liable for killing that person even though you don't own the car.

Do you disagree with that statement?
