And if motorists kill people, they get a minor traffic offence.
Like this guy, who killed a young e-scooter rider, but only gets a "fail to yield" charge because humans outside of cars don't matter.

40,000 people a year die in car crashes, but people are getting worked up over the motor the size of an orange that puts out 1HP, if that.
