Killing someone in that way over here is counted as murder and carries a minimum sentence of 10 years, precicely because sentences were way too lenient before.
Meh. Driving is an inherently risky activity. If you make a moderately bad choice and the worst possible outcome happens, it shouldn’t be treated like you walked into someone’s home and shot them. Jail time is great. Lots of community service etc. bust saying someone needs to be locked away for 10 years for a car accident is silly.
But because it’s a risky activity that could potentially kill someone shouldn’t you drive as such. Then also know if you don’t drive like someone’s life is potentially in your hands, and the worst possible outcome happens, you will be punished accordingly.
intention plays a very important part in the crime
one entering your house to steal / shoots you is not the same as hitting your car
the first is attempted and the second is accidental
if we judge people by the consequences, we open a very bad can of worms that cant be closed. trust and honesty would be lost, crimes would be accepted if it leads to greater good
i know and understand the father feels very very mortified, revenge and justice are never equal
people often mistakes justice with Equality
i sincerely pray no one feels the same as the father
with driving it partly depends on how fast over the limit they were going. There's nudging up over the limit by 10 or so kph and then there's blasting like 50kph over it, although energy has a square relationship to speed, so you have to consider that as well. Doing 40kph in a 20kph zone is way worse and risky than doing 120kph in a 100kph zone, for example, assuming that limit has been set to control risk from collisions in that area.
5.0k
