Last year a taxi driver drove on the wrong side of the road, past booms, and onto a railway crossing. A train hit his taxi, killing 10 children and injuring four. He was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder; there's legal precedent for being egregiously reckless and causing deaths.
He was convicted of murder and attempted murder, and got 20 years. Good.

Next up, a drug-fuelled DJ and his friend who were racing each other on a public road, lost control, and ploughed into a bunch of school kids, killing several.
