Not entirely related to thread, but a good example of what happens when you do break the law and death and injury is a result. The driver of the Hunter Valley bus crash has just had his charge count increased and upgraded to 10 counts of Manslaughter, among 80 odd other charges. My initial thoughts was that the driver has not shown much remorse over the occurrence which I will not label an accident, so the charges just keep piling on as the investigation continues. Sounds like he may be spending a long time in jail over a situation he could have easily avoided. He may not have even been speeding when the bus toppled (most likely was significantly over the corner speed for that vehicle), but his actions leading up to the crash have definitely hung, drawn and quartered him.
PS If you do drive road vehicles where passengers can stand up and will not listen to your demands to sit down and buckle up, pull over and don't move until they comply. As driver, like the PIC of an aircraft you are responsible for the occupants. When they are non compliant it just makes the situation complicated.
