What method of murder is always charged as premeditated?
Any type of murder that does not meet the legal definition for manslaughter can/will be considered premeditated. Involuntary Manslaughter occurs where there is no intention to kill or cause serious injury but death is due to recklessness or criminal negligence. Murder occurs when there is a preplanned process of events, set in motion by an individual of sufficient mental capacity. So to answer the question; any method of murder will be seen as premeditated.

What is a sentence for pedestrian?
Always use the pedestrian crossing to cross a busy road.
The car knocked a pedestrian who was crossing the road because of you are too excited that you have a new car and the pedestrian was saw your car approaching so for this case is you or the pedestrian?
In most states, it doesn't matter the reason a driver struck a pedestrian or if the pedestrian saw the vehicle prior to being in a position to be struck--the pedestrian always has the right-of-way so the driver is always at-fault.
Is manslaughter illegal in NSW?
Manslaughter is not always illegal... if you have a statutory defence available. This, however is becoming increasingly rare. Manslaughter is a less culpable offence to murder. It suggests that there were circumstances that mitigate the wrong that has been done, yet there is still a punishment warranted. The only time that any form of homicide (including murder and manslaughter) is not punishable is when a legitimate legal or 'statutory' defence is available to the defendant which is successfully pursued. Manslaughter can occur through either Criminal Negligence, or through a dangerous and unlawful act. It is very complex but this is the simplest answer. The act causing death MUST BE voluntary, that is that the defendant had minimal level of control over bodily movements (as found in the case of DPP v Ryan). If it is involuntary - the defendant will be acquitted.

Is manslaughter illegal in Australia?
Manslaughter and illegal in the same sentence can cause some contradictions. Manslaughter, it should be noted, is a mitigated form of murder. Manslaughter exists as an alternative verdict to murder always! Manslaughter, however, is a criminal offence which under the constitution is a STATE matter not federal. So it is wrong to ask if it is illegal in Australia when each state has laws that vary. But yes manslaughter does suggest that there is some culpable wrong that warrants punishment and is therefore illegal.
