And just further to your comments about penalties handed out to drink drivers who cause death and serious injury!
That is not a road safety issue, nor a traffic issue. Please direct all of your correspondence to the relevant department of Justice!
My understanding is Judges / Magistrates are supposed to apply the community expectations in relevant sentencing, Oh how quickly we judge!
Would you like that job? Give it a rest, the total number of moral / ethical decision a Pilot is left to make without a flowchart and probability matrix is minimal.
You have set procedures in almost any situation and very rarely, if at all make any decisions outside of set policies and procedures. (Well, we hope you don't)
In all my trolling around in libraries that I've done, I have yet to find an instruction manual on how to administer the law or hand out punishments.
Maybe the moral decisions aren't as easy to dish out in the real world! ie, without an instruction manual!
Take it easy!
