I would have to say he was irresponsible in the fact that he had so many people in the car but cant say he is an idiot driver as the cause of the accident was a burst tire.

In fairness, he was transporting grown men, who were fully aware that there were not enough seatbelt etc. The guys were looking for an affordable ride, and to say he is operating an illegal taxi can be argued as we in the west carpool and share petrol costs (although we may not have a dozen people in a car designed for 5)
