Proceeding contribution from Brian Iddon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [Lords].


Road Safety Bill [Lords]

In many cases, a driver who kills commits a multitude of offences, but the feeling among families of the victims is that not all those offences are totted up. The three new offences that my right hon. Friend referred to a few minutes ago have a maximum penalty of two years’ imprisonment. Is it his view that if a driver has committed multiple offences, the court should tot up the sentences?
