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

[Whatsmymethod]

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.

How fantastic

Ive just had a look. I didn't hear anything more from them so I didn't know it was on there.

So pleased

whats they obviously bowed to the pressure

I actually feel excited about it again

Me too Whats

I think it was fluke that my email got looked at - probably because of the Crimewatch thing.

The auto response said that they were inundated and a reply could take up to 4 weeks so I didn't mention I'd emailed them here on the thread.

What a result though hey?!

Climbing higher but we still have a long way to go. Please don’t get complacent, please sign and share, we are so close now and every signature counts

For the sake of Andy Lindup's family and friends, I feel I should point out that I am not known to them, but the cause really touched me and I like to be useful

Well done hello. It's just what it needed

Agree NeverTwerk.

Keep on signing. How great would it be if the petition gets a mention on TV? Albeit too late for new signatures - but the more signatures they can say it attracted, the better.

I've been in touch with Andy's sister and she's aware and says it's great news and will be watching crimewatch on Friday.
She's also already commented on Brake's Facebook post about it.
