Just look at the speed that the RV was going! The driver was given a $500 ticket for almost killing 30 cyclists. Insane that they’re even allowed to drive after that.

That’s an incredibly stupid law. Why have a fine at all if it’s just $500-1000? If you kill someone with your car and it’s your fault, your license should be suspended.
Eh, that’s a jailable crime where I’m from ffs
Wouldn’t that depend on motive? Accidentally killing someone usually doesn’t result in jail time unless it reaches the level of gross negligence (i.e. you’re looking at your phone or something when you hit a pedestrian). If you kill someone intentionally, you’re absolutely looking at jail time because that’s murder.
Well, not being able to properly control multiple tons of machinery on a public road can be considered gross negligence.
It could, depending on the merits of the case. In the case of this article, I do think it rises to that standard, but that’s not true of all accidents involving motor vehicles. That’s my point.
