The government should re-consider the current laws and instate a higher minimum and maximum prison sentence for people convicted of death by careless driving when under the influence of drink

Currently the maximum term is 14 years. The driver in this case only received 8 years imprisonment, and with good behaviour will be out in less than 4 years. Let’s make it tougher for offenders.

Let’s make a change now before any more young and innocent lives are lost because of reckless drink drivers.
