But at what age do we determine that crime and punishment is not applicable? I don't think that's a factor. I think the driver's intent is a huge factor. If this was an unfortunate accidental death then treat it as such. If there was some form of nefarious intent involved, then the punishment should apply regardless of age. If this was due to a person whose capacities are compromised due to age, then the person should be prohibited from driving, but his car still belongs to him and his family and should not be confiscated.
