1) In the car scenario, the first onlooker is also correct in the sense for the driver is upholding the moral obligation of preserving life. I will say that the terms good and bad have a broader definition than moral and immoral, but the definition of good/bad can mean the same thing as moral/immoral. However, this is more arguing semantics than beliefs.

2) I will argue against your point of morality being relative to the individual. As you said, many cultures have a verson of "The Golden Rule". This means that groups of people, many of which had no contact with one another, indepentally would have developed similar beliefs. It would seem odd that various cultures with vastly different characterics and backgrounds created similar moralistic values. This hints that some beliefs may not be randomly created, but are there due to some fundamental truth.
