Yeah unfortunately here in Australia we’ve got far too many cases of drivers killing cyclists and getting away scot free, too. Sometimes that’s because the police fuck up and it doesn’t even make it to court. Sometimes it’s because our legal system (including juries) just don’t care enough. Always it’s because it’s impossible to hold transport engineers and city councillors legally accountable for their failures.
In theory. In practice? A car is the best way to kill someone and get away scot-free, or with only a slap on the wrist as punishment.
Oh, in theory for sure. The court system in the US is terrible
Not just the US, unfortunately.
True. I just live in this hellhole
