The victim of this crime was a friend of mine. He was killed aged 36 and left to die in the street by the person who hit him. That person ditched his vehicle and by the time he was caught (over 2 weeks later), it was too late to get any evidence of drink driving, speeding etc. They do know that he never even tried to brake before or after hitting my friend.
Beause of this, he was only charged with leaving the scene of an accident and therefore only served 61 days in prison. For taking a life.
The victims family are trying to get this loophole in the law changed as they feel there is almost an incentive to leave an accident as you're almost certain to get a lesser sentence than the maximum of 14 years for death by dangerous driving (which he would have been charged with had he stayed)
Please sign so this gets considered by parliament. This is the sort of crime that could happen to anyone and, sadly, is likely to happen again, devastating another family.
Thanks for reading.
