Use the thinking in the OP with a different situation...
"My buddy was supposed to fill my gas tank when he borrowed my truck. When I started it up, the needle was lower than it should be, but I didn't stop for gas. After a few miles the low fuel light came on, but I still didn't stop for gas since my buddy (who's trustworthy enough for me to lend my truck to) said he was going to fill it up. Then, wonder of wonders, I ran out of gas! Whose fault is it? Mine or my buddy's?"
There is no way any self respecting vehicle owner could possibly place the blame on someone else. Granted, what was supposed to be done may not have been done, but the warning signs were there, and dude ignored them.
