Coming from the US, if he had stopped the car immediately, the bicyclist would likely be alive, and the driver would’ve received a metaphorical slap on the wrist by comparison to the act he performed. Murder is the only outcome he deserves.
I know it didn’t happen in the US. That’s my only insight that I could offer. I don’t know how favorable UK courts are to drivers. If it had happened in the US, and the driver stopped immediately after impact, it likely wouldn’t have turned out too badly for the driver because of how favored drivers are and how light their punishments are from US judges.
As for capital punishment, I wasn’t even mentioning the punishment for the driver. The incident being classified as “murder” is the only outcome that could work given the driver’s actions. I wasn’t calling for the execution of the driver at all.
I hope that clears up my positions. Correspondence through text isn’t always great at conveying intentions.

Prison, courts, laws also fix nothing. What’s your point?

I do like hearing that other countries are slightly less car-brained.
