Should hit and run drivers be banned from driving for life?
Answers:
Agree with you 100%, anyone who takes the life of an innocent person either by hit and run or drink driving should be banned for life, they have taken a life and their punishment should be a ban for life, its just disgusting how they get away with it by a slap on the wrist and a driving ban for a few years or maybe a languish in jail for a couple of years, the life's of the people they have killed will never have a life again will they, neither will the loved ones they left behind to try to carry on without them.
I agree.
i agree with you
yes i agree
yes, if you cant drive responsibly then you shouldn't be allowed to drive at all
I totally agree with you.
I completly agree !!! They should be severly punished!
Hit and run drivers should be gassed.
Drink drivers should be charged with attempted manslaughter banned from driving for life.
Banned drivers still drive, its a fact of life.they are stupid beyond belief. I think a more severe form of punishment should be given out, like having limbs removed or devices fitted that makes it agonising and difficult for them to drive
yes they should be banned for good because they are criminals they dont belong to the streets or roadways while driving a vehicle
Yes, because they are obviously not responible enough to drive a car and deal with an accident if one occurs, if they own up and take thier punishment then fair enough and ban them for whatever period is relevant
They should not be punished any more than anyone else who was guilty of manslaughter and of trying to escape the scene of the crime. As for drunk drivers - well they don't deserve to be treated so harshly if they haven't hurt anyone, do they?!
only if the person has committed the crime more than twice.. first time can be a mistake
absolutely what about the blind guy driving on the other side of the road.he got a ban and has to go on an intensive driving skills programme.wow
There is no doubt absolutely in my mind that you are quite correct.
BANNED FOR LIFE
they should ride a bike
Hey whiteman1 :) if you ever ran for election you would have majority votes! At last someone with a law we need. good for you!!
i agree x
I agree.
not only should they be banned from driving, they should be locked up
Yep. But that would be common sense-try getting the politicians to sign up for logic & reason! Nice thought though.
Yes, and get stiffer jail sentences. Its no deterrent to see some one who has wiped out a family, failed to stop, has no insurance or full driving licence do a paltry 18 months.
Anyone who commits a serious offence whilst driving should be banned for life.
A car is a lethal weapon in the wrong hands
Yes i totally agree. It angered me the other day to read in the paper of some idiot boasting about his new fast car he'd bought only a year after killing a girl because of his stupid, careless driving. People like that should be banned for life from driving. They should actually be jailed for life too, with life meaning life and not just a few months, or a small fine. A common reflection of so called 'justice' nowadays in our sad society though.
definitely, surely they feel ashamed when going out to drive after committing either of those terrible crimes.
Absolutely! Too many people get away with just a fine, and a few years' ban. The ban should be for life, and they should be given jail time.
absolutely.
coz they rn't drivers. they r cowards, not real people that know the rules & respect other drivers on the road (also pedestrians).
i say that they should b banned 4 life. along with a huge fee 2 pay. & a respectfule time in prision!
No of course not, they might have had a very good reason not to stop, such as being drunk or having no insurance or something like that.
Hit and run drivers should be treated the same way as anyone who attacks a person with any other deadly weapon. If someone dies as a result of a hit and run why shouldn't the driver be prosecuted on a murder/man slaughter charge? why should they get away with dangerous driving and a 4 year sentence! A car at speed is a dangerous weapon and the driver should be held accountable.
Yes and the maximum penalty applied no excuses.
I think anyone who drinks n drives and hit n run drivers should all serve a hefty prison sentence, My mums friend lost her son to a drink driver and has never got over it, and that was years ago. Its bad enough somebody being hurt in an accident but when morons who do these crimes it should be classed as pre meditated especially drink drivers.
As a motor insurance underwriter in a previous employment life you would be staggered at the attitude of these scumbags when they've been caught and dealt with judicially. In my opinion it is heinous and the penalties levied are never reflective.
Hit and run = 'tuff s**t pal I don't care coz I'm out of here, and if I don't get caught I'll have no problem doing it again!'.
Fine them, lock them up and endorse their licence with something that will hit their future premiums to make driving financially prohibitive!
