Mandate a lifetime driving ban for causing death by dangerous driving

What the petition asks
Change the minimum penalty so anyone convicted of death by dangerous driving faces a lifetime driving ban. Dangerous driving includes drinking/drugs, using mobile phone, excessive speeding. This selfish behaviour endangers lives and we think it must have severe, permanent consequences.
Driving should be a privilege, not a right. 5 people die daily on UK roads.
