Petition Action

To remove the distinction between killing someone whilst driving & murder.

Petition Details

Under UK law death by dangerous driving has a maximum gaol sentence of 14 years (CPS website)
We the undersigned think this maximum tariff should be removed and a sentence of "Life" introduced (as if death was caused by any other way)
This is especially true when driver is disqualified or unfit

Additional Information

CPS info on death by dangerous driving.
