Petition To remove the distinction between killing someone whilst driving & murder.

Under UK law death by dangerous driving has a maximum gaol sentence of 14 years (CPS website)
We the undersigned think this maximum tariff should be removed and a sentence of "Life" introduced (as if death was caused by any other way)
This is especially true when driver is disqualified or unfit
