What the petition asks

Stop drinking while driving completely, as in you cannot have any alcohol while in charge of any vehichle! To many people lose there loves one through someone else's irresponsible actions, yet all they get in return of taking a life is a couple years in prison at the most.
We need a tougher punishment for this crime such as longer prison time and harsher license loss, if over the limit if you cause an accident it should be you lose your license for more than 5 years followed by a prison sentence minimum punishment. UK laws are to lax time to make them tougher. Save lives not lose them!!
