Closed Increase minimum and maximum sentences for drink/drug driving, plus lifetime ban

Closed on

The general public often read about offenders being given what they see as insufficient penalties for drink and drug driving. Minimum sentences must reflect a) The seriousness of the offence, b) Take into account the effect it can have on any victims' family, and c) The wishes of the vast majority.

Current penalties are inadequate to deal properly with these criminals, and minimum and maximum custodial sentences and financial penalties should be increased, and all perpetrators be issued a lifetime driving ban, to better deter offenders.
