i once watched a documentary about some of the most wanted criminal in japan. basically there's a guy thats been to prison. in there his cellmate told him that the easiest way to kill a person is just hit them with a car, because its so hard to prove the murder intent they just charge you with negligence.

Callaghan said Stechman, who was on a learner licence, had been aggressive from the start of his interaction with Huntsman, which was an aggravating feature of his offending.

He said Stechman drove up behind Huntsman tooting his horn, even though Huntsman had been cycling at around 58 kilometres per hour in the 50 zone.

There wasn't even any reason to overtake him, I'm sure it's the kind of guy that will tell you cyclists don't respect the rules

I went to court once because the morning after a party, I still blew just over 0.05.

While there, I saw a guy who had his lawyer dad there speaking for him. The guy was in stopped traffic, mounted a sidewalk, hit a child on their bicycle, and fled the scene, later telling his dad who called the police.

He got a 1 year suspension on his licence, no jail time, and fine like 900€. I remember hearing the person behind me say, "Fucking bullshit" as we waited for our turn.

In comparison, I got 300€ and a six month suspension, no record. I was told it would be worse, but it was clear that I was unaware that I may have still had alcohol in my system. Which is true, because I stopped and went to bed early, knowing I had to be up early to drive to the markets.

Apparently I could've also hit children and sped off the road to get around traffic for just 600€ more...

He looks awfully sorry tho

Where I'm from, if you don't lie.. you can just drive away from it, if your car still works. True story :(
