Here is something to think about.
We just declined an applicant for a DESK job because he has had 2 traffic citations in the last 12 months. Nothing incredible... just a speeding and a failure to yield.
Imagine if you had a "Vehicular Manslaughter" or "Reckless endangerment" on your record.

Will killing someone else get you to slow down and drive with in both the abilities of the vehicle and within your abilities? Or are you stuck in some video game where you can just hit the reset button and start it all over with no consequences?
I am astonished that you still had your license to wreck another vehicle.

Heres a thought...
vehicular manslaughter
n. the crime of causing the death of a human being due to illegal driving of an automobile, including gross negligence, drunk driving, reckless driving or speeding. Vehicular manslaughter can be charged as a misdemeanor (minor crime with a maximum punishment of a year in county jail or only a fine) or a felony (punishable by a term in state prison) depending on the circumstances. Gross negligence or driving a few miles over the speed limit might be charged as a misdemeanor, but drunk driving resulting in a fatality is most likely treated as a felony. Death of a passenger, including a loved one or friend, can be vehicular manslaughter if due to illegal driving.
