Generally speaking, people are not forced off the road and into jail when they kill others while operating motor vehicles, except in the most egregious cases.

It’s a running “joke” in some circles that if you want to kill someone and get away with the crime consequence-free, hitting them with your car and claiming it was an accident is the most reliable way to do it.
- dingoegret 8y agoNo.. no it isn't. Where did you even get this idea? Are you planning something? If you kill anyone, at all, self defense even, you are definitely going to jail. Then a magistrate decides what to do with you the next day. There is no situation where someone is dead at your feet and the cops are just like "yeah sure bud see ya later". Even if they believe you. Even if there's video evidence on hand. Lastly, whoever is telling you this "running joke" stop listening to them. You will absolutely be charged with vehicular homicide. Even if you can prove the person jumped in front of your car. A jury can convict you on the basis that the prosecution makes a compelling case that you had a few seconds to break but you didn't. Murder ain't no joke pal.
