It is snowing. Two people drive home from work in opposite directions down country roads. Both slide in the snow, and run off the road. The first person, when she slides, runs into a mailbox. The other person runs into a child.

(A) Are both drivers' actions equally morally excusable? Why or why not?

(B) Construct an argument to support your position on the case.

(C) Reflect on what your answers in (A) and (B) reveal about the value of intent in determining the moral worth of a given action.
