The punishment is set by what you did, not by the results of what you did. Hence the media trumpet "driver kills family and gets off with 6 points".
A really cnutish piece of road behaviour could have very minor consequences and a very minor infringment of the rules could wipe out a bus stop full of nuns.
Punishment, in terms of road behaviour, is dictated by the action, not the result.
As for this case: lets wait for some facts before shooting each other.
