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.

Fantastic work Waddle.

I'll miss our 'tennis' and will think of you when I see number patterns from now on Grin Star

Petition closed! Amazing result in the end Smile

I know everyone who signed will get an email once the government responds but I think for Andy's family it doesn't stop there so when there's updates on their campaign I'll keep you posted. It's the least I can do after all your dedication and amazing work keep this in active and helping get it to the total!

MarshaBradyo · 21/06/2018 08:27

Blimey that was good! I signed and was watching it go up on this thread

MollyHuaCha · 21/06/2018 08:58

@Steaksauce Great result! I must admit, I was having doubts a week ago...

Looking forward to the government's response on this.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 21/06/2018 11:45
