1min of your time
A fella off another car forum i use unfortunately lost his 19yr old daughter last july to a drunk driver. Originally the drunk driver was given an 18month sentence and a 12month ban, the ban would have been served by the time he got out of prison allowing him to jump straight back in the drives seat. After a years worth of appeals they managed to get it overturned and a 4.5 yr prison sentence was imposed and a 5yr driving ban. But he still gets to serve his 5yr driving ban whilst being locked up for 4.5 yrs....
The father of the 19yr old girl needs 30,000 signatures for the law to be considered for a change....This is already found it's way through alot of various forums so it is gathering momentum..
1min of your time peeps....Thanks in advance..

signed with my collection of email addys. I personally think that DIC should carry a lifetime ban. You can get a few MPH over the limit on an empty motorway and you might really need to take an important call on your mobile, but if you are found drunk in charge you have spent several hours getting drunk and have then decided that the penalty is no worse than the taxi fare, so you go and kill someone to save the taxi fare
