60 days of community service means that most people won't think much about driving attentively. To put it very cynically, if I didn't care for people around me, 60 days of community service sounds like an OK forced retreat. However, we shouldn't rely on people's conscience to deter manslaughter, and instead have a dual-pronged approach - appeal to both people's conscience and fear of having to spend time in prison.

AFAICT some people drive inattentively daily. 60 days of community service for every time they drive is a lot more than a forced retreat.

Maybe they shouldn’t drive at all then?
