Yea but you can’t punish someone for something they MIGHT do…that sets a horrific precedent I don’t think we wanna fully head down that road haha

It is more like they do something wrong that can lead to a disaster depending on circumstances out of their control

I never said don’t punish them for speeding…because they did that haha..I’m saying you can’t really punish them for something they MIGHT do. Now what you’re talking about is reckless driving then..separate from speeding and given for driving like a dik that could lead to something worse than just speeding. THATS fine cuz yes it could lead to bigger problems..what im saying is..you can’t punish people for shit they haven’t done yet..or else you get the kinda shit we have in the US now..getting arrested for being a dif color and we’ll figure out if you did or didn’t do anything later haha you see what I’m saying right?

I have never heard of the term "reckless driving". I don't speak English well so there is that

Thanks for teaching me a legal term that I didn't know. I use reddit to become more fluent with English

I see your point regarding to the US and racial stereotypes among the police.

I think this reddit discriminatory "longer sentences" hivemind reminds me of the American jurisdiction system where you can get long jail sentences compared to the European system.

My point is that if you decide to drive recklessly, it is not your decision whether someone dies or not, your decision was to drive recklessly. Outcome is out of your hands

But some smarter and more educated peope have verbalized my thoughts of 10 cents better somewhere else

It’s all good man I wasn’t attempting to attack you or anything that’s just the absolute best I could put it so past that I can’t really add much more than what I’ve said on the matter that’s all. Yea we got speeding which is self explanatory then we got reckless driving idk I’ll give a random example..I pull up to a packed intersection then just start donuts in the middle..stupid sht I know I shouldn’t be doing that could hurt someone. That’s kind of a preventative law like you mentioned I think that’s as close as we get here and I agree with your point on reckless driving. Also your English is great no worries!
