Anyone you love could be hurt or killed by a hit & run driver and the way the law stands it is to the driver's advantage to leave the scene, especially if they are drunk or drugged. The very least a law should do is expect people to stop & call for help.
I'm trying to help publicise this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/208008 and get it to the 10,000 signatures that will ensure a government response. This is mot my family - but surely any decent person should want to support them.
Please read the petition & sign it then share widely. This family could be your family.
We will be appearing on the Crimewatch Roadshow this Friday talking about this very issue, unfortunately your petition will be closed by then. However, we have communicated your petition on both twitter and social media and will likely reference it on the crimewatch programme. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/208008
benefit for the driver - yes, not for the person lying bleeding in the road who may be unable to get help. Please sign and encourage your adult relatives to do so.
