That sounds like a good idea, but noone thinks that they might crash. I like the philosophy of letting people do what they want as long as they don't hurt other people, but most of the population has very poor risk assessment skills, and can't really comprehend the impacts of their actions.

if someone can't judge the risks of their actions, they are unfit to have a license.

Ehhh, "Attempted Murder" implies Rens Mea, or rather, the intent to murder. I can swing for the harsher penalties for those that cause accidents while speeding, in lieu of regular speeding fines, but how would you go about enforcing it? I could even go for just enforcing speeding tickets in certain areas (School Zones are such an area that immediately come to mind), but charging for attempted murder, which implies an active desire to murder someone, as a prerequisite for the charge, because of an accident? Nothing about that speaks to the idea of 'justice', in my analysis.

People have been charged with Attempted Murder for wanton negligence if the negligence outright dumbfounds the judge by their sheer stupidity.
