If you are just driving recklessly and wreck and kill your buddy or someone else, you might very well avoid prison time, but it all depends on a bunch of stuff. You are far, far, far, more likely to just accidently scoot through a red light and your buddy in the passenger seat gets t-boned and killed, or you hit someone on a bicycle, or in a crosswalk, and then that's where civil liability can absolutely ruin you, and all because you just weren't paying attention....
