Yes. From a moral perspective both instances have the same intent and are equally bad and should be punished the same.

Why the disparate sentence based on luck (e.g., person B hits an unoccupied car whereas she hit an occupied car)?

If our laws are to reflect our collective morality (this is the ideal), why not treat both actions the same?

I'm looking for moral consistency here which a vast majority of folks do not have.
