Prison for killer drivers - Thursday 28 August 2008

They could face up to five years in prison. Previously the maximum sentence for causing death by careless, uninsured or unlicensed driving was £5,000 fine and penalty points. Avoidable distractions include calling or texting on a mobile phone, drinking, eating and applying make-up. The new offences were introduced as part of the 2006 Road Safety Act, which also made provision for cracking down on foreign drivers who escape penalties for driving offences committed in the UK.
