Imagine if you lent your mate your car for the night and it ended up with
a 
burnt out clutch and bald drive tyres and he had to prove he wasn't
driving 
it, it should be up to the accuser to prove he was driving at the time
these 
things failed, if he can't prove it, then the repairs aren't the mates 
problem, they are the owners finacial burden.
