Thats not what happened here however. The scenario is simple. Is Alistair guilty or not? He is as guilty as hell and no one other than him are to blame. If as you claim he was not mature enough then he should not have been driving under influence. Accountability has to be assigned as per his action. In any case if you are hitting people on the road it probably means that you don't have control in any case. There is no court in the world that will support you when you can say that you were driving at 55 and a reckless guy crossed so you hit him, unitil and unless you can prove that he was jaywalking. In any case in India jaywalking laws are non-existent
