The home of common sense. This is talk. Mark Harper, who is the Transport Secretary, has announced, though, that he's going to change the law so that dangerous sighters face the same punishments as dangerous drivers. The maximum sense is causing death by dangerous driving his life in prison. We had a case just the other day, highlighted, of course, on this show of a woman

0:21.9

who was 81 years of age, knocked over by a speeding cyclist doing timed laps inside Regents Park,

0:28.1

a London Park, of course, on a public road, a public highway doing 29 to 30 miles an hour,

0:34.3

ran into her, she later died of her injuries, but the cyclists could not be

and the highway code all the way up to the courts,

1:26.8

to actually, if they cause injury, damage damage or anything like that and fatality,

1:31.9

they should be subject to this.

1:33.4

And what gets me that we're in an election year here now,

1:36.2
