You're right, it's been a while and I remembered the car as moving. But even
in a still car I wouldn't put something dangerously hot (and you can tell,
if you have any experience with coffee, how hot it is from the temperature
of the outside of the container, no matter what it's made of) between my
thighs. There is an element of common sense here, rather like that which
keeps you from putting your hand on a hot stove because you feel the heat
rising up from it.
McD's would likely have been smarter to pay her costs, but I don't see them
as being particularly at fault.
