We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to: 'review the
sentencing for causing death by dangerous driving where more
than one life is lost in one incident'
Two women both aged 48 lost there lifes on the 26th August
2009. They had been out for their annual meal with two other
friends. They were pulling out of a junction when they were hit
by a very very fast stolen car doing upto 80mph. The driver was
3 times over the drink drive limit and was trying to escape
from a police officer. The driver before the crash had been
driving extremely dangerous down a road with lots of bends and
double white lines in the middle of the road. On the way down
an off duty police officer was nearly wiped out by the
driver. One of women the died at the scene and the other women
died on arrival to hospital. The driver tried to escape from
the scene but the quick thinking single handed police officer
arrested him and the passenger. The driver pleaded guilty to
causing death by dangerous driving while under the influence of
drink and aggrevated vehicle taking. For this he received
12years for 2 innocent lifes that he took away. This law needs
reviewing and sentencing in cases like these need to be given a
sentence for each life not just one sentence for 2 or more
lifes lost.
