That said, they left the scene of the accident. It's up to the courts to prove malice now. It's unlikely that they intentional hit the man - unless there is more to this story that we don't know. Hopefully the crown will try to set an example here, and toss the book at the driver and occupants of the car.

Leaving the scene proves malice, in my book. I agree the Crown should do their best to set an example. Of course the judge has to co-operate; way too many driving sentences are ridiculously light.

I think once you leave the scene, it becomes much more difficult to show that you are NOT guilty. Exceptional circumstances can exist, but the baseline will be as ijmorlan said.
