To ask you to help get this to 10,000 before 20th June

Time is running out, so on behalf of everyone affected by hit and runs (and there are so many lives sadly devastated by this) I am asking if you would please take a minute to sign this petition.

There are currently 5656 signatures but it needs to reach 10,000 by 20th June.

Hopefully, this will help in getting the law changed, so that leaving the scene carries the same sentence as death by dangerous driving. The way the law is at the moment, there is almost an incentive to drive away.

The petition is here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/208008

And some more detail about the case that started the original threads (there are 3 other threads) are here: eveshamobserver.co.uk/news/hit-and-run-family-in-sentence-review-call/

Please sign the petition, this crime is tragically so common and devastates so many lives and the sentences given out are a joke and an insult to grieving families.
It's not the judges and the police at fault, the man who killed Andy was given the maximum sentence for that charge, it's the law that's wrong.

Late afternoon bump.

I do wish there was a way we could zoom the numbers up.

Yes Mrs! I think things that dont have a short soundbite suffer just now...

Okki · 18/05/2018 17:36

What about posting again/elsewhere with a comment like, "the law is an ass" and how to make our voices heard?

MrsMozart · 18/05/2018 18:09

Okki that sounds like a plan.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 18/05/2018 18:40

Okki go for it!
I've put a thread in AIBU (I'm scared Confused Blush) because I cant bear how low the numbers are.

Waddle There might be a few detractors, but ignore.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 18/05/2018 19:40

Thanks mrs will do Smile
My stupid links didnt work, i wonder if mnhq would fix them if i reported it? Although that would also probably get it moved to petitions asap...
