Hit and Run Law Change
Sign Now
A wonderful mans life ended on the 15th November last year. His name was Trevor Bird and he was only 52 years old.
Trevor was killed by a hit and run driver, Mr. Jason Doyle, who not only left the scene, but came back to try and retrieve the car. He reversed back, about to go over Trevors body, until a man out of a nearby house shouted at him so he ran away again.
Mr. Doyle was found to have traces of cocaine and alcohol in his system when he finally gave himself up some 14 hours later. He was convicted of causing death by dangerous driving. He was jailed for just four years. With good behaviour he will serve a mere two of those four years.
In the 10 months it has taken to bring Mr. Doyle to justice he has been allowed to drive. This should not be.
My intention is to get as many signatures together to have the law changed:
1 A license revoked immediately pending further enquiries
2 Tougher prison sentences - a judge can give up to 14 years for dangerous driving, it is about time this was imposed.
