That is a nightmare of a great many drivers.it would haunt me for the rest of my life, regardless of consequences.
Is it forgivable? By the community, I think yes, going by legal penalties imposed in such cases. Here punishment seldom includes prison time. By the victim's family? I think that's their decision alone.
There are few things I cannot forgive, in theory.
I would find it hard to forgive a loved person for suicide.
A psychologist friend once told me "Never die on your children; they'll never forgive you"
So far, there is only one hurt I have not been able to forgive; being betrayed by some one I loved and trusted.
I guess I would also find it hard to forgive intentionally injury to one I loved. EG: The rape/murder of a child/wife/sibling/ relative.
