An at fault minor accident, sure. An at fault accident that causes the death of another person - a very small percentage of the population. Penalty is at least acknowledgement to the victim's family that a fault of another caused their death, and action has been taken in an effort to prevent this from occurring again. I really couldn't give a damn if those drivers who have killed another human being due to their driving were not allowed behind the wheel again. The severity of the penalty is another matter. But your words advocate no penalty, and this idea that "hey, we all screw up sometimes, don't sweat it". You talk of percentages. Look at the percentage of cyclists killed by vehicles in the US. If all we cared about was percentages, there would never be a drive for cycle lanes, there would never be a movement towards cycle oriented cities. You are telling a small percentage of pioneering citizens to suck it up, because "you knew the risks". Some scream of entitlement. I think cyclists are entitled to their lives. Don't you?
