Unfortunately, on Friday 6th February our family received a letter notifying us that the driver had successfully appealed against his original sentence. The 4 year ban and mandatory extended resit of driving test imposed on him was reduced to a 30 month ban and the driving resit was removed. Not only were we shocked that the driver had appealed against what we already thought was a lenient sentence but also we were shocked that we had not been notified that the appeal was happening and that it was in the end successful. Particularly disappointing was the removal of the extended resit. All acts of careless or dangerous driving causing injury should require a resit. Good drivers should have nothing to fear. This appeal just goes to highlight how lenient and ineffective the current system is and is further impetus for reform. Please continue to share this petition with fellow supporters so that public awareness of the deficiencies in the law can continue to be highlighted.
