Someone died, it wasn't just cuts and scratches after all. If the other party were unhurt or had minor injuries he would have had the book thrown at him, but should have been able to do punishment outside of prison; would have screwed up his life and job prospects, but would have been ok in the end. Even in the lenient UK you would get a few years in prison for dangerous driving, driving without due care and attention, causing death by driving, manslaughter, no insurance, etc - probably 5-12 years. The US is harsher still as we all know. The UK is tougher on people driving and using mobile phones now (prison and fine), let alone taking eyes off the road altogether to use a camera, etc...Bottom line Kurt is that the law is made to be fair as you say (in theory at least), but fairness to the families of the dead person, the injured person and their property is the "fairness"; not a teenager with no licence driving dangerously, etc. (sorry, but it's true).Kurt_ wrote:No but seriously man, I doubt you'll go to jail. The law is made to be fair, I should think. They may let you off easy, who knows?
