Unfortunately that is not the reality, and as such, the driver of the car undoubtedly deserves the maximum penalty.
So yeah, Hooray for the US Legal System. Shame on the US Legislature.

I understand your point and agree with much of it in principle, but I think the blame should really be assigned to the politicians who don't pass the necessary laws. Regardless of what special interest groups say and do, it's the politicians who choose what legislation to introduce and support.
