"It seems the "rule of two" makes perfect sense. If I'm not drunk and I accidentally kill someone, I'm not arrested and tried for killing them."

Well, to be exact, you're not necessarily arrested and tried for killing them. You might be, if your actions were judged to be negligent and the cause of the death. The same should be true for DUI drivers. I can also think of a variety of "accidents" that sober people regularly get away with but that I believe should result in serious consequences. But it's not a popular idea to hold people responsible for the consequences of their actions if they are poor drivers. "It's just an accident," they say.

You are correct. I was using the term "accidentally" quite literally, meaning there was no negligence involved. I just drove round-trip to Indy from Baltimore this weekend and encountered dozens of wholly obscene drivers.
