Maybe, too strict. Sometimes, accidents are just accidents. Almost all of them could be avoided one way or another. We have a traffic system that tolerates almost 30,000 deaths per year.

Alcohol caused wrecks, and high-speed reckless driving/racing accidents should be prosecuted as felonies in most states.

“Tolerates?” Wrong word there. Any suggestions on your “tolerance?”

I did not drive when I was in the U.K., because I was worried about this. It’s okay, if someone is wreckless?

Negative. They are crashes where one or both actors are liable.

Crashes due violations of traffic laws, negligence, impairment and those not legal to drive for medical reasons.
