As I said: long term driver's license suspension for anyone who kills someone on the road, unless it's really an accident, and on top of whatever else if the person also is high/drunk/speeding or fled the scene.I'm not of the opinion that this would be a deterrent. Many drivers today do not have driver's licenses and/or liability insurance ... yet they still drive. They only have a consequence in the event they are stopped. I just googled my state and the penalty for driving without a license is a $200 fine. By way of contrast, one of my friends was ticketed for not stopping at a stop sign ... while riding a bike. That fine was $180.
So if your solution was implemented it would be wise to put some deterrent in the penalty for driving without a license.
