I agree with you 100%, I mean they are called accidents after all. However, when there is a cell phone or some other "distraction" involved or alcohol/drugs or a hit and run, no excuses and no slack in the punishment dealt.

A few months ago, there was a sanitation truck that ran over 8 or so bikers who were stopped at a light and didn't even stop until he made it all the way through the intersection and then some. His initial response was that he was fiddling with some paperwork. Toxicology came back that he was totally jacked up on meth. I think the 4th person just died here recently and I think he should get worse than life in prison.
