We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Make the penalty for Causing Death By Dangerous Driving the same as that for Manslaughter. More details
Submitted by Lindsay Chant – Deadline to sign up by: 07 March 2008 – Signatures: 17
More details from petition creator
The current system of handing out a maximum 10 years jail term for causing death by dangerous driving is wrong. If you hit someone with your car, driving dangerously and they die as a result then you have technically commited Manslaughter and should be sentanced as such.
