Increase penalties for road traffic offences

What the petition asks
There are too many death and injuries on motorways and other roads. We want the Government to increase fines, driving bans and custodial sentences for all road traffic offences. This should help deter dangerous driving.
We think current punishments aren't severe enough so bad drivers do not learn. We need to see dangerous drivers punished appropriately to make roads safer for all.
