    If you kill someone with a gun and it was completely accidental, you’re still likely going to do some time for it. Not so with a car.

      Yea because a gun is literally designed as a weapon. If someone is wielding one and it “accidentally” goes off you were 100% being negligent in some way. With a car there are certainly situations where you can do everything as safely as possible but an accident still occurs.

        Then it won’t be your fault.

        In (almost) every automobile “accident” someone was at fault. That person bears responsibility for whatever results from the “accident.”
