Amid concerns from victims’ families that some offenders get off too lightly, the Prime Minister has ordered the Sentencing Council to review current guidelines for motoring offences including causing death by dangerous driving.
An increase in the severity of sentencing for serious driving related offences has, for me, been a long time in coming. Campaigners have been calling for changes for a number of years, and hopefully, the Sentencing Council will not take too long to review and come forward with proposals for serious changes.
Serious changes in the severity of sentencing, I feel, are vital as minor changes will simply have little or no effect on the attitude of the motorists involved.
