Proceeding contribution from Lord McCabe (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]

I am following the hon. Gentleman’s argument with interest, but is not the case that he cited of someone who swerves to avoid an animal but inadvertently kills a cyclist a classic example of careless driving, but with the extraordinary consequences to which he referred earlier? Is it not right to impose a heavier penalty in those circumstances for that level of carelessness?
