Yes, it's reckless: Driving into a building, even if accidental, can endanger several people at once depending on the time of day. Drivers who do this should face a tougher citation, driving school, or even losing their license! No, wouldn't help: Accidents happen regardless of the penalty. So do DUII's, and any other problem on the road. Raising fines or threatening jail time would not prevent a person from mistakenly hitting the gas over the brake one day.

Should there be tougher consequences for driving into buildings?

It's not necessarily reckless but it is dangerous. I just dealt with having to take away a parent's license. It's hard but necessary for the safety of everyone else on the road.

Show me a court or jury that will put a 75 yo person in jail for a "brain fart".

If it was an accident why would there be any consequences... other than your insurance rates going up or being cancelled
