Rename death by dangerous driving as "motor manslaughter" and increase sentences

Petition Details

I would like the Government to change the name of the offence of causing death by dangerous driving to "motor manslaughter" for all road traffic collisions caused by a vehicle that results in death. I also think punishment for the crime should be increased.

Additional Information

I feel that "motor manslaughter" would better reflect the severity of the crime that has been committed and taken the life of a victim.
