We lost a Nephew two years ago in a Motorcycle Accident. An Idiot Woman made a Left Turn in front of him at a Light. He was pronounced Dead at the scene. He didn’t have a chance.
The idiot Woman got Two Years Probation and lost her License for a Year. She only had Minimum Insurance Coverage since she didn’t have a Pot to Piss In or a Window to throw it out of. The Family got nearly nothing in Compensation, probably enough to Bury the Kid.
The Kid was 28, a Marine who served two Tours of Duty in Afghanistan. Came home without a scratch. Just finished College and started a great Job. His Death devastated everyone and his Mother will never get over it. He was her only Child.
Unfortunately, the City of LA doesn’t have Left Turn Signals at most Intersections in the San Fernando Valley where the Accident occurred. His Mother is working to get that changed, but LA is a pit. They’re busy spending Taxpayer Dollars supporting the Illegals, so there is only so much Money to go around.
Two Years later and it still grinds at me.
I totallly agree with yu and I would feel exactly like you. It is insane how minor the penalties are for kiling someone with your car, versus a knife, handgun or bare hands. They need to be on par with 2nd degree murder/homicide, and not any less than regular manslaughter.
With multipliers if they are distrscted, texting, and/or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If under the influence i’d and over legal limits, i’d have them up on 1st degree murder because they had intent to get behind the wheel when they knew they had taken drugs or alcohol.
What also gets me are the illegals driving that get into accidents, and just take off. That happened to my dad.
