I cannot understand how those parents don't murder him with a car at the first opportunity
I'd be surveilling him to find out where he usually crosses the street
Is this just for the traffic violation and not the manslaughter charge? Is there no manslaughter charge?
The manslaughter charge is what got him 9 months in prison, suspeneded
Unsure what country this is in, but I'm going to assume it's a car-brained one.
Excess automobile deaths are seen as unimportant and are one of the largest forms of social murder. Areas are designed around personal automobile transport, personal automobile transport is required to make the economy work (workers and things get places on time), therefore if a motorist causes an injury it was in support of something greater than themselves. This leads to rulings like this that should be classified as murder. People operate cars like psychopaths on a good day, and even if someone is having a bad day (tired, distracted, sick) outside of their control and driving, they can still produce the same results as someone trying to prove something about their ego.

One of the earliest points of my eventual radicalization was when, as a kid, I realized that like 40k people die in car crashes annually in the US and...we don't really do much about it? New cars are made safer in certain ways but you're still driving a box at speeds far faster than people were ever intended to go from an evolutionary standpoint, and you're dependent upon people around you also making the correct decisions at the correct times.
Why not just get more public transit, particularly rail based systems which don't need nearly as much snap judgement?
Then I learned about how the rail industry, both heavy and light, in a lot of the US got dismantled by auto companies buying it up
CW: might make you more mad
Remember the failson that got out of jail time for murdering 4 people while driving drunk because they argued he was "unable to link his actions with consequences because of his parents teaching him that wealth buys privilege".
Different country "luckily" but yes I do
the worst punishment I've honestly ever heard anyone get for a traffic offense besides certain severe drunk driving cases is like a couple months suspended license and a smallish fine. often there is nothing, a warning, etc. Hit-and-runs get away scot free all the time
