I have added my name to the petition which require 100,000 signatures.  There have been 12,855 at the time of posting the thread, so please add your name to it.

Obviously a totally tragic situation - and sadly similar situations are all too frequent. 

The wording of the petition does miss what for me is the central point:   sentencing as a whole of offences on the road is lenient - it doesn't reflect the seriousness of the consequences on the victims. 

The request seems to be to adjust the sentencing guidelines, available here:

In my view it's the tarriffs for driving offences - the starting point for the sentencing guidelines - that need to be stiffened up.  I believe there is consultation out about this - I remember reading in the CTC magazine about it.  Perhaps someone can enlighten us further?

Gattopardo:
Check out the recent mathew thompson 2 years ban, no retest and 200 hours community service.
