Petition Action

Death by dangerous driving should be changed to a charge of murder !!

Petition Details

If somebody kills a person either through speeding or any other motoring offence, that person should be charged with murder not death by dangerous driving

Additional Information

The sentences people get for this crime are a joke and nowhere near long enough. The family of people who have died in this way are getting no justice for their loved ones. It won't bring people back to their families but it might deter others from driving like idiots if
they know the sentence is going to reflect the crime !!

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We think these petitions would have the same effect:

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/575522
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/578391

Charging decisions are a matter for the CPS, not the Government and Parliament.
