 I see your point.  Many people seem to have no remorse as bystanders
in a like they deserved it............. It does however seem to me that not 
controlling your vehical and
killing someone is Gross Negligence.  The death or course is proof
positive that she did not allow a three foot clearance.

  He lost his drivers license for a limited time, that was about 
it.............................

It sounds like this woman still has a license but is likely more
careful.

Many auto drivers would fear losing their license for a year more
than a week in jail.


****************************************************
Far to often loss of license (driving PRIVILEGES) does not stop a motorist 
from driving . We see it all too often in the police and court reports. 
"So-and-so was arrested for drinken or reckless driving, he/she was also 
cited for driving on a suspended or revoked license. Now there is no 
indication that this driver was a habitual offender. But for those that are, 
getting behind the wheel should be classified as "brandishing a deadly 
weapon" and the weapon should be forfeited.
