I've read (a little) about this in NYC

Posted by ty97 Jul 11 '14, 06:13

(mostly from advocates for more pedestrian safety and therefore more willingness to charge drivers, so admittedly one-sided) but I got the impression that the laws are there and it's at the discretion of the police whether to charge or not. And they generally choose not.

Responses:

According to this site, only one sober driver was charged in 2013 with killing a pedestrian../ - Inigo Jul 11, 06:23 4
- 178...honestly given the number of people in NY, the number of cars and walkers that strikes me as low... -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 06:25 3
  - According to this link, New York rates 13th worst in fatality rate per 100,000 people. - Inigo Jul 11, 06:36 1
    - I've now met my quota of saying "According to this" for the day. -- nm - Inigo Jul 11, 06:40
  - We're on pace to have more people killed by cars than murdered. So we've got that going for us. - Krusty Jul 11, 06:28
