“If it wasn't for the campaign, he would probably have just been charged with "Careless driving" or similar. The man who caused the death of my son got a fine and points on his licence which enabled him to continue driving. At least this man was locked up (and I agree, not long enough)”

“The campaign to bring in the charge of "Causing death by careless driving" was worth every moment spent on it.”
