The penalty for a hit-and-run accident conviction that caused one or more deaths (or serious physical injury) is a felony punishable by imprisonment of 5-20 years and/or a fine of $1,000-$10,000, as well as revocation of driver's license.
The definition of an open circuit is  a broken path for an electrical current due to an open switch or frayed wire. An example of an open circuit is a string of electric lights that donât work if one bulb goes out.
Except in the event of a wiring failure, that is. The nature of electric circuits is such that open failures (open switch contacts, broken wire connections, open relay coils, blown fuses, etc.) are statistically more likely to occur than any other type of failure.
