So, why not just increase the penalties, but don’t put anyone into jail? In the article it sounds as though people receive a low fine. Why not take their driver’s license away for a month or two? Or what about probation? A points system where the driver’s license is lost after you rack up enough points? There are ways to deter people from behaving recklessly without destroying their lives. Actually, if possible that should in my opinion always be the goal of the justice system (and it’s a failure – inevitable, probably, but still a failure – if that doesn’t work out). If juries don’t want to send someone to jail, wouldn’t it be much more likely that they would want to take someone’s driver’s license away for a month?
