CAUSING DEATH BY CARELESS DRIVING

Early day motion 604, tabled 18 July 2005 by Sally Keeble (Labour). Signed by 150 members.

That this House acknowledges all the work done by many honourable Members to persuade the Government to strengthen road safety law; supports the Transport Committee's report Traffic Law and its Enforcement, which identifies the absence of an offence of causing death by careless driving; notes the recent Home Office, Department for Transport and Department for Constitutional Affairs consultation on road traffic offences involving bad driving; and calls on the Government to ensure that legislative changes are made to establish this offence.
