Mack truck?
You don't always "choose" to hit bicyclists or pedestrians, you know.

Based on a few similar cases we've had around these parts lately--
The driver gets 9 months of night jail with the ability to leave in the daytime to go to work. They get to keep their license because they need their car to get to work.

Off topic, but I've gotta ask: and we send people to prison for five years for looking at pornography? Wow.

Vehicular Manslaughter. The argument would be whether or not it was voluntary or involuntary. His priors should net him some time.

Or a cop. In which case they probably lost all the evidence prior to trial.

The driver plead guilty.

Summary execution. It would ensure drivers pay more attention.

No it wouldn't...
But it WOULD ensure that the same driver wouldn't do it TWICE!
