That’s funny, because when I’ve advocated making driving a strict-liability activity, the usual response is that we shouldn’t “ruin people’s lives” over a mistake that killed somebody.
It’s one thing when something unavoidable happens like a kid darting out from behind a truck and not being able to stop in time. It’s another thing if someone is willfully not paying attention and careens into a crosswalk full of children. So I would both agree and disagree with your sentiment depending on the circumstances.
