That is why tort reform is so important. In the absence of any real
reform, that's why the legal blood alcohol limit that defines
impaired driving has gotten so low and fines have gotten so high.
Nowadays, you can hit and kill someone without suffering any real
consequences if you haven't broken a law. They don't put you in jail
for being stupid.
