Dudette I’d of happily signed up for this, despite the un necessary emotive stuff bolted on, if the deadline had not already expired.

What part of 03 March 2010 did I get wrong?

Plenty of time!!!

Higher than 6 months in jail for a first offence??? I don’t think so.:wink:

soumds like a good idea but why don’t they just impose the fines that already excist, do they not realise the revenue they could raise?

*Phone crash sentence under review

A driver who killed another motorist as she sent text messages from her mobile phone is to have her sentence reviewed.

Phillipa Curtis, 21, from Suffolk, had been using her phone before she hit the back of Victoria McBryde’s stationary car at 70mph on the A40 in Oxfordshire.

Curtis was jailed in February for 21 months after being found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving.

However, the solicitor general has asked the Court of Appeal to rule on whether the term was unduly lenient.

“If the Court of Appeal decides that the sentence is unduly lenient they have the power to increase the length of the sentence,” Solicitor General Vera Baird QC said.

A date for the sentence review is yet to be set. *
