The Ministry Of Justice has unveiled plans to increase the sentencing powers of courts in Scotland England and Wales; they will now have the ability to hand out life sentences for drivers that cause death by dangerous or careless driving.
The changes also see an increase in sentencing for death caused whilst under the influence of drugs or drink and death because of the use of mobile phones, speeding or racing.
A separate offence will also be created for causing injury due to careless driving
Victims’ families have long campaigned to get the sentencing laws changed as they were seen as too lenient and following the Governments consultation the laws will be changed, a move that has brought approval from most.
The concerns raised are that the increase in sentencing will not change road safety which isn’t a good reason not to change the sentencing, as courts finding those guilty of the most serious offences should have the power to impose the strongest of punishments.
The number of deaths on the road has increased by 4% in the past year to almost 1800, the Government already has in place a collision investigation department for air, rail and sea but not road, introducing one for roads should be a priority so lessons can be learnt and improvements made.
