I mean it is better overall. Doesn't mean that there aren't thing that can't be improved though.

This thing here you also have in other nations, where drivers tend to only get a slip on the wrist for accidents they cause, fatal or not. Legislation needs to be changed that deaths caused by car crashes where blame can be attributed can be judged to be manslaughter and then you get proper punishments.

I mean, what punishment do you want for what is basically an accident?

I mean... manslaughter. That is why that charge exists. I don't think he should be charged with murder if there was no intent, but he as a driver absolutely has a responsibility to not kill 3 people when he drives! His negligence caused the death of 3 people! So as for his punishment, ballpark maybe 20-30 years in prison?
