There really is no such thing as an accident. Somebody failed and caused damage or injury. People used to get off if they didn’t mean to cause harm but no more.
I’m so grateful that thus far I have never done something behind the wheel that caused anyone any harm.
It wouldn’t matter if I got off legally, It would bother me forever and that would be serious punishment.
You see some real idiots on the road, I am amazed that they survive.
BTW: I consider fiddling with a cellphone while driving to be nearly as dangerous as drunk driving.
