Tougher Sentencing for Drivers found guilty of killing cyclists

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I'm appalled at the sentences drivers are given when they are found guilty of death by careless driving. Bans and suspended sentences. This is sending out the wrong message that cyclists lives don't matter.
