I honestly can’t think of another form of murder/homicide/negligence causing death, that results in almost no consequences for the one responsible.
Here in Canada, people will be charged with everything EXCEPT the death of the person killed. If they get charged at all!
A few years ago, a truck driver killed a cyclist in Toronto and got nothing for it. A $2000 fine, six months license suspension, and 100 hours of community service. That’s what a life is worth.
Unbelievable. And she only stopped ‘after the car became too damaged to drive’!
If you want kill or maim someone, do it with a car.

Cyclists and pedestrians are simply not viewed as people when they are killed by drivers.
someone should start an advertising campaign showcasing serial killers using cars instead of guns
