The guy was a nurse.
His life will be miserable.
I say suicide in 3 years.
I give the poor fellow 3 months. I can't believe the vitriol on this thread. He obviously was just operating on automatic when he was driving and blanked. Just the other day I was given some anti-biotics and I opened the bottle while I was reading something online, and a few minutes later I was about to put the lid back on and suddenly I thought... did I take the pill? I sat and stared at my hands for a full minute, trying to recall... and I couldn't! I couldn't remember shaking out a pill and taking it, but my hands were ready to put the top back on. It finally occurred to me to dump them all out and count them, and I did, and either I took the pill or the pharmacist shorted me, but for the life of me I cannot remember. The mind is weird.
I worked with someone whose wife, by negligence, caused an injury to their son where it was unlikely that he would ever be mentally 100%. The law was considering charges. The guy told us that no punishment including the death penalty could be as bad as what they lived with everyday and would continue to live with.
