Closed petition Increase sentences for drink driving offences
Closed on
We would like drink drivers to have harsher punishments, to try and discourage drink driving and prevent reoffending.
7% of deaths on roads are caused from drink drivers. There were 8,713 positive results from those tested for drink and drug driving during a six week period which ran from 21 November 2022–1 January 2023. Please sign this petition to help make a change.
