Thread Name: BS: Mobile penalties
Subject: RE: BS: Mobile penalties
The sentences for causing deaths by dangerous driving eg. using a phone, never seem to be enough. If the penalties for using one are going to increase you would imagine that sentences for deaths caused by using one should also increase. Will this happen automatically or are the courts tied by guidelines that are already in place, or are they relying on the new penalties discouraging people enough so that these serious accidents will not happen?
