Make causing death by careless driving through speeding a prison sentence

Closed 726 signatures

What the petition asks

Causing death by speeding can still fall into careless and I think it needs to be a prison sentence. Taking someone's life due to speeding is dangerous and needs to be punished. Losing your licence or paying a fine is not enough.
