At least in the US. Hopefully other countries do better.

    My ex’s mom never stopped driving when she developed a medical condition that has her randomly passing out multiple times a day. She never stopped, the doctor never took it, and the inevitable happened.

    She passed out, killed a pedestrian. Did like 2.5 years and ~6 Mo of that was time served IIRC.

    Motorists aren’t REALLY punished for crimes, and pedestrian murder is just victim blaming advertising for car ownership “if they hadn’t been on their bike they would have survived” “that’s what you get for walking on the side of the road”
