How about charging some of these arseholes and locking them up instead of letting them go after paying a pittance for injuries or death.

Because often that’s what the victims family want rather than a custodial sentence. It’s a cultural thing and is also the norm in Africa, India and other developing nations.

Don’t think of things with your western head on otherwise you’ll be constantly enraged.

I don't have a problem with them having to pay adequate compensation but the rich pricks suffer no penalty for the death or injury they cause.
If there was a custodial penalty as well then maybe... just maybe they may take a bit more caution and be less inclined to drive stupidly.

My western head thinks well and I understand the KoW well ... thanks for your concern.

ps. What is your life or the life of your kids worth?

$20k for the boy $19k for the girl.

He can’t be that rich driving a 15 year old X3.

I don't think it's a cultural thing, I think it's a poverty thing. Filing charges against someone costs significant money, and regardless of fault, someone with a big SUV that has the means to fight it, will, and will win in a court system that rewards the highest bidder. If the victim is successful, there's no guarantee of the court will award financial compensation. Funerals also cost significant money.

Accepting compensation (or paying it) also settles the issue legally. If you accept compensation you can't file a lawsuit, and the driver can't be pursued further.

Cultural in developing nations.
Your reply just reaffirms my point.
