Has anyone here ever seen or heard of a fatal, single-car accident occurring at 30mph? Excluding stuff like veering off an exit ramp and rolling down a steep incline.
Yes. Two bicyclists in our area hit each other at low speed and BOTH were killed. And BOTH were wearing helmets.
But I agree with you, this is NOT a line-him-up-and-execute-him offense. Not even close. For one, when someone is charged with a crime, it kind of violates about three elements of The Bill of Rights to charge that person with other crimes that "could have happened". You can't make someone pay child support for sex because "she could have gotten pregnant". Well, maybe under The Affordable Care Act, anything's possible with that legislative turd.
Given the charges, a simple suspension suffices for PJ.
