Why do California drivers often get to keep a valid license, even after they kill someone on the road? A new CalMatters investigation studied tens of thousands of DMV driver reports and found that nearly 40 percent of the drivers charged with vehicular manslaughter since 2019 are able to drive on the road today. Nearly 400 of those drivers have caused other collisions since their first fatal crash. We’ll talk to the reporter behind the investigation and a road safety expert about the DMV protocols and state policies at play. And want to hear from you: When should someone lose their driver’s license?
Guests:
Robert Lewis, reporter, CalMatters; author, CalMatters investigation "License to Kill"
Leah Shahum, founder and executive director, Vision Zero Network; former executive director, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition
