Â*The full cost of the clear up and medical treatment necessary should be charged to their insurance. Any injury should result in imprisonment, the duration depending on the severity - why should the perpetrator recover any more quickly than their victim? Â*Permanent disablement or death should equal life imprisonment. NOBODY who has caused any doubt to be raised over their ability to use a motor vehicle safely should be allowed further use. Â*End of story. Okay, but "any doubt" in *whose* Â*mind? Any contact with another vehicle, object or person that can't be entirely attributed to another party. I repeat, the vagaries of human nature in all its splendor abound at the controls of traffic. Â*(Whjee) If people knew that these were the consequences of an "accident" they'd take the necessary care to avoid them. Absolutely right! Â*It's about time. If licence suspensions and/or revocations were used more often, people would get used to the idea of alternatives to driving, and it would be economically viable to provide those alternatives. No, they would get used to driving without a license -- and without insurance. The accident described in the original post involved an aparent psychopathic driver. Most non-psychopathic drivers want to avoid accidents and do not need further incentive -- e.g., the threat of license suspension or revocation for an "accident." Psychopaths don't care and are probably driving without a license anyway. The people who do the most damage are rarely those who respond to bland punishments. Hear! Hear! -- Michael Press |
