Legalities, requirements and risks of a free ride?

NeptunesMoon

just wondering would there be any risks involved in, as part of a business, offering a free ride, say in the case of a pub offering a complimentary mini bus, or even just a car home for customers. or whats the story with it not even being customers, say somebody who might have been waiting for a bus outside can hop in too but who wasn't even a customer, does it matter? is a psv license needed if it's not for profit? would they just be seen as any other passenger in a car or would there be special liability etc requirements, is there something against stopping at the side of the road to pick someone up, i know it sounds dodgy

Whats that case where the sign "Passengers ride at their own risk" was held not to be a waiver as it wasn't explained to the passenger? The name escapes me.
