Milestones

We want the government to change the law on dangerous driving. We think current sentences are too soft for the serious effects dangerous drivers can cause to victims.

We feel that many families are facing injustice due to the light sentences being given when their loved ones have been the victims of injury caused by dangerous driving. We think they deserve better. We believe there should be harsher sentences due to the circumstances.
