Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) 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]
If the law was changed as the hon. Lady hopes and the court had the power to impose tough sentences in cases of careless driving, the expectation would be set that that would happen. If, having considered all the circumstances, the court decided that what happened was a momentary lapse and did not merit a prison sentence, is there not a danger that victims would have an even greater sense of injustice if the penalties available were not used by the court?
