OTHERWISE, PUNISHING OUTCOMES ARE MORE SECRETARY THAN INTENDENCES
Critically, driving without carelessness or danger is not intended to be a crime. If the criminal consciously entered an “accident” by causing hurt or severe damage on purpose, or even commiting murder, he may face charges under the Penal Code for doing so. Obviously, these will face much harsher sanctions.
So, it is important to keep in mind that these are, at the root, accidents when assessing the suitability of sanctions for road traffic accidents. The goal of an offender’s actions is determined by their actions more than their intentions.
Consider the following situation: A car traveling along an freeway chooses to merge into one lane. He executes the street alter after checking that the next street is obvious.
Nevertheless, he sideswipes the motorist when he doesn’t notice a motorist riding in between two roads coming his way. The motorist is thrown from his motorcycle, getting hurt that eventually will be catastrophic.
How ought this driver to become punished? On the one hand, the vehicle made a judgmental mistake that is, in the grand scheme of things, small. But, there were fatalities as a result. Your opinion of the sentence’s cruelty or clemency may vary drastically depending on your point of view.
Take into account a different situation from the one above. The motorcyclist sees the vehicle changing lanes and slows down, avoiding an injury, even though the driver is not present. Even though the vehicle was extremely careless in both instances, he is never punished in this next instance. The change is obvious.
