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.

I find it sad that more people aren't signing this. Is there perhaps a legal ambiguity in the way it's worded? Otherwise is there a way of sharing it with groups on FB/Twitter such as cycling clubs. I'm not really social media savvy unfortunately. My sharing on my friends list garnered two whole signatures.

Okki i agree I find it mindblowing that it didnt hit 10000 in days. I know that steak who is a friend of the family has been in touch with various organisations but o dont know details.

6,737 please please please sign & share Flowers
