Sad but true...it's pretty obvious that if there are no witnesses it's cheaper for a driver to just kick it into reverse and make sure the pedestrian or cyclist they ran over is dead since it's alot cheaper to kill somebody than injure them. Apparently prosecution for vehicular homicide is unpopular because potential jurors realize they're driving vehicles that could kill somebody at any time and they don't want to be convicted of vehicular homicide just for being stupid/negligent while using their deadly weapons.
