Deliver stiffer punishments for drivers who kill or seriously injure on UK roads
Around 5 people are killed on our roads daily with devastated families often angered that those responsible avoid jail or face minor custodial sentences.
Drive For Justice by The i & sister papers across the UK aims to give families who have lost loved ones a voice for fairer sentencing.
Our campaign calls to:
Re-work sentencing guidelines so judges can use their full powers
Give tougher sentences for the worst offenders
Have all culpable deaths treated as manslaughter/culpable homicide
Have more and longer driving bans handed out to those who kill or seriously injure on the roads
Examine how people are often prosecuted for the lesser charge of death by 'careless' driving rather than death by 'dangerous' driving.
Close the loopholes that exist such as with hit-and-runs
