ideal world: dead person should be charged for not wearing a seat belt, vehicular homicide charge shouldn't stick. breathalyzer should be compulsory if you are the cause of an accident.

I'm not sure about the other states, but in PA vehicular manslaughter has a minimum sentence of 2-3 years.
But, this will be a perfect way to find out if dogs are more important to our society than people.
