Life sentence for death by dangerous driving

Petition Details

Make the sentence for death by dangerous driving a life sentence with a minimum term of 25 years. We think it should be treated in the same way as murder because we think that when a driver kills somebody they have intentionally got behind the wheel and the car is the weapon.

Additional Information

In our view, if a driver gets behind the wheel they are doing so intentionally so it is no different to carrying a weapon. We think the car is the weapon.
