This is my biggest annoyance with the traffic act. "Running a red light" and "Running a red light and killing a pedestrian" are the same crime/penalty. I was hit by a car and injured while in a dedicated bike lane and the penalty was $50 for improper turn. Society gains nothing by punishing any criminal. The punishments are there as deterrents and should be scaled to the risk/severity of the act. Any contact with a pedestrian or cyclist when at fault should carry extremely high punishment given the high risk. Any contact causing injury should carry a higher punishment. There isn't a flat 0.002% chance. Many drivers drive dangerously and put cyclists/pedestrians lives at risk knowingly and repeatedly. They will continue to do so unless we make a change.
