If a man kills his neighbor by reck- lessly ste.pping out and firing: an auto- matic pistol, experience has shown rhathc w-ill be liable to a charge and •cnviction of manslaughter and a substantial pri.son sentenc->. But if the same man takes a two-ton aut- omobile, drives recklessly and kills his neighbor, the seijuel may be com- plete exoneration or aneglegent hom- icide charge, followed by a light fine. Why the discrimination"? The man who •iracticfs with a firearm in his back yard and pots his neighbor through a window is rare and not much of a menace. The reckless driver appears to become more common every day. and more of a hazard to every man. woman and child in every community. If this habit â€" considering man- slaughter by reckless driving a minor offence to be condoned by the courts â€" continues, the gunman may as well put away his traditional weapon. lay in wait on his enemy's usual route t.i the office, pick him up on his bumper at 40 miles an hour and tell the authorities it was an accident.
