Dangerous Driving

Proceeding contribution from Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 January 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on Dangerous Driving.

I thank the Minister for giving way and for his useful round-up of the debate. Does he not accept that the greater ease of getting a potential conviction for death by careless driving is being misused, because there are cases—I would like to discuss some with him—where people’s driving clearly fell far below the standard and was clearly wilful and grossly dangerous? I believe it is being misused. That is why Brake believes it would be more sensible to categorise them all as dangerous driving, and then have appropriate guidelines and appropriate sentencing from less to maximum.
