ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Why?

Likely because people lawyer up and makes it harder to convict, so they plead guilty to a lesser charge.

Though keep in mind, there is Careless Driving and Careless Driving Causing Bodily Harm or Death and it's only been in law since September 2018. While not a 'criminal conviction', technically you could do jail time (I have no idea how that works) if properly convicted.
