I'm fairly certain he did not mean to kill anyone. I'm also fairly certain he does not feel like a "winner" for having killed someone.
And it is terrible that someone died. More terrible than the person responsible feeling bad, of course. But the big issue is not punishment. The big issue is prevention. If you want to get your pitchforks out, join the Daily Mail comments section.
This is the whole reason I've virtually given up cycling... They are always let off because "they did not set out that morning intending to kill someone". But their actions make it inevitable. Even if they did intend to kill someone, they could deny it in court (unless they had committed it to their diary like in the final scene of 'Kind Hearts and Coronets') and then after their show of carefully coached 'remorse' they could read the copy in the papers next morning about how they were 'obviously devastated' and 'understandably distraught'. Utter bollocks...
Anyone who covers their windows in this film doesn't care about anyone outside the car. I would also prosecute the person who applied the film and the companies who manufacture it.
I normally press delete at this stage but in memory of Sam Harding and the former very wonderful Mary Bowers, I'm not going to.

Punishment f****** well is the answer!
