I get that the legal system needs to be consistent, so perhaps focusing on individual stories is too emotive, but I'd tend to agree that whenever this subject is discussed, some people on the pro-driver side of the debate do seem to distance from the fundamental moral responsibility of killing someone. The law as it stands, along with some of the messages from the authorities and media, may be absolving them of that sense of responsibility. On the other hand, when yet another driver overtakes me with a total disregard for the fact I'm turning right, I'll take responsibility for getting myself out of the way. Sometimes it's a choice between being right and getting home um one piece.
