> Making this sort of accident legal makes it definitive that people won't report it. Because there's no requirement to. Huh? No. Make it a legal requirement to report it. Then there is all the incentive to report it and no incentive not to. If it's illegal to have the accident, then attempting to cover it up is the most rational course of action, because if you can not report and get away with it then that's the only way you aren't punished. If instead it's just a legal requirement to report it, then reporting it is the most rational course of action, because you can report and then aren't punished.
