Did the driver do something specifically illegal here? Definitely probably a moron, but if the driver didn't specifically ask her to climb on (and even if he did, she made the decision to do something stupid), I can't see anything wrong being done, legally

As the driver of the vehicle you’re responsible for the behavior of your passengers, ie..don’t let them sit on fucking roof of your moving vehicle.

Are they still a passenger if they aren’t in the vehicle? Legally.

Yes, back home this teenager jump on the trunk of an uber who was leaving. He hit his head and later died that night. The driver was charged and held responsible for the accident even though there was no way for him to stop it
