She's not going to drive again.

This is something that humans suck at.

She gets her license back. That's wild.

Not usually with fatal consequences. These were preventable deaths. Not only that, the driver was being incredibly reckless, apparently driving 70 mph in a residential area.

> You shouldn't punish her for other people failing to take action

You're punishing her for being criminally reckless. You're creating an incentive structure that should reduce the frequency of future criminality.
