I wouldn't bet my life on ^^this criminally speaking. An otherwise sober, upstanding citizen with proper ID and registration, with no criminal record, getting distracted behind the wheel happens every half second. Unless the negligence is gross resulting in a death, and there is no flight risk, why throw them in jail before a hearing? Big difference between a person who is a screw-up and one who is a criminal. Except to the victims of course.
