Petition If a person uses a vehicle as a weapon they should receive a lifetime ban
If a person gets into a vehicle and ultimately uses that vehicle as a weapon then they should get an automatic lifetime ban from driving on top of any convictions that the courts see fit to administer.
More details
It is quickly becoming a new trend for people to jump into a vehicle and drive it into a crowd, this is a problem on several fronts including terrorism.
The courts deal with the criminal aspect by handing out custodial sentences, however when the convicted party leaves prison they are allowed to reapply for a licence or continue driving as the bans handed out are normally spent whilst in prison.
If these offenders were convicted of Animal Cruelty they would receive a lifetime ban.
