Old People Get All The Breaks, If Not The Brakes

What the hell is up with this old man, plowing into dozens of people, killing nine of them, and getting off scot-free? That really disturbs me. Sure, he's old, but it's still some kind of vehicular homicide. There has to be some penalty, even if the car malfunctioned. Someone has to send a message to the old people of the world to stay off the road and get a bus pass. Where are the ice floes when you need them, eh?
