I think it is a form of judicial corruption where the justice system does what is popular rather than what is right. Pretty much everyone drives and anyone can make a mistake while driving. The needs of the majority outweigh the needs of the few.
The Canadian Supreme Court actually stated this principle in a decision where they weighed the "social value" of driving against the responsibility of the driver. If we were to make drivers strictly responsible for their actions we would make the value of the automobile less.
