Background
When a person is driving dangerously over the speed limit , or under the influence of drugs and alcohol or even using their mobile phone. They are in charge of a deadly weapon . A machine that can change innocent peoples lives in an instant through no fault of their own. A vehicle of any kind not driven within the rules of the law should not be classed as dangerous driving it’s far worse than that. To many innocent lives are being ruined and the sentences for this are way to low.
