Really? You think that people are fine with killing pedestrians, but if only they might go to jail they wouldn't do that?

I think drivers are fine with causing a certain amount of risk to pedestrians. Strong, predictable penalties would lower the typical risk level drivers were willing to subject pedestrians to.

It’s not binary, it’s a distribution and I do believe you can alter that distribution.
