Aye

Also this bit's rather wierd...

"undreds of drivers who have killed walk free from court each year because the offence of causing death by dangerous driving, which carries a maximum sentence of 14 years, is difficult to prove. More than 3,500 people were killed on the roads in 2003 but only 273 motorists were convicted of causing death by dangerous driving. Most drivers who cause fatal crashes are charged with careless driving, which carries a maximum fine of £2,500"

So, why not the same max of 14yrs' jail for mobbie-users too?
It's NOT "causing death by dangerous driving" ???????

"Paul Smith, founder of Safe Speed, which campaigns against speed
cameras, said drivers could be jailed for a minor error of judgment."

.... that ended up killing someone. Poor drivers!

It just proves that the people who make these laws have [censored] for brains. Change it from "causing death by dangerous driving" to "causing death by dangerous/careless driving". Pretty simple isn't it?
