Or society has de facto decided there's no point in sending someone to jail for a legitimate accident.
- rcthompson 13y agoSo you're saying that 100% of collisions between cars and bikes are either the cyclist's fault or "legitimate accidents", and 0% are the motorist's fault?
- briandh 13y agoHe just said "accidents". He didn't say who was at fault.
- tsotha 13y agoThere's a big difference between civil liability and criminal culpability. If you're not drunk or driving recklessly, and you have no criminal intent, hitting someone isn't illegal even if you're 100% at fault. Nor should it be.
