> The justice system is definitely very unforgiving towards anyone that actually hits a pedestrian. I have to disagree. Where I live in NZ a local elderly couple were run down by an impatient driver turning into a quiet side street. One died, the other was critically injured. The same driver had recently accepted fault for hitting and injuring a motorcyclist. The sentence? 250 hours community work, $15,000 to the family as an emotional harm repayment, attend a defensive driving course, and disqualification from driving for nine months. I might add that the driver was a very wealthy businessman (so the monetary amount is likely insignificant). Nine months is ridiculous in my opinion. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/wellington/132178677/driver-who-killed-wellington-pedestrian-had-previously-hit-and-injured-motorcyclist https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/wellington/132178677/driver...
