I think the punishment in such situations should be much more severe...

I used to work with a woman who was permanently disabled after a girl ran over her and her husband on their bike... She pulled out of a 7/11, t-boned them, and ran them over trying to flee. Turns out a cop was RIGHT there and witnessed the whole thing...

No license, no insurance... She ended up spending a few months in jail, and that's it... They tried to sue her, but she didn't have anything... so they went after her parents (who freely admitted that they bought her the car and paid for her gas, knowing that she had no license/insurance)... no dice.

Her husband is pretty much fully recovered, but she's on a walker the rest of her life (in her late 40's) because her humerous was pretty much completely replaced by a titanium rod and her one leg is like an inch shorter than the other...

They still ride though...
