Motion Text

That this House acknowledges all the work done by many honourable Members to persuade the Government to strengthen road safety law; supports the Transport Committee's report Traffic Law and its Enforcement, which identifies the absence of an offence of causing death by careless driving; notes the recent Home Office, Department for Transport and Department for Constitutional Affairs consultation on road traffic offences involving bad driving; and calls on the Government to ensure that legislative changes are made to establish this offence.
