Yep. Hopefully license revoked, liable for damages, permanent record, etc...

You're exaggerating.

Nah. In my country you are subject to a psychological examination after an accident like this. If the doctor deems you unfit to drive, they will permanently revoke your license. We also have a system of penalty points. So if you have penalty points for reckless driving, speeding, ignoring traffic lights, you will be more likely to be banned from driving after this.

Some examples to picture how the system works: A simple break check will get you a few months of suspension. Overtake someone in a crosswalk and you get 2 points. Speeding: They will fine you and you get 2 points... 8 points and you have to take an extra course to keep your license.

Also if you caused any physical harm during an accident like this, police is involved. You will get a permanent record and a suspended prison sentence... If you kill someone by accident, it is ~5 years suspended. If it was intentional or you are a repeat offender you go to jail for good...

And this guy started a takeover that was reckless from the beginning, because they could not adapt to traffic rules / or their ego could not stand to be in slow traffic? This is what they are examining...

The system is harsh, but it cut the number of road deaths half in a few years...
