Petition to change law after hit and run.
Please sign the petition below. It's been created in response to the Volvo driver that seriously injured the cyclist in Nottingham and drove away. The resulting trial resulted in a paltry fine and points. Original story here, petition below:

Wow, the current law really does suck.
Would love to sign it, but waiting on error correction in the "more details" bit.
Yes, I noticed this as well. The chap that made the petition did an unpdated version of one I did. I think he's qualified in law in some way. Once they are live you cannot edit them, but I hope this still makes sense overall?
Would be great if the folk here can share it on their social media, cycling groups and get some traction!
Cheers
I doubt it's possible to edit now it's live, but the text under 'more details' doesn't entirely make sense:
"An example is this case: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-35472617. A driver deliberately hit a cyclist and drive off. There were two possible drivers and they simply refused to say who was driving. This is not uncommon but it is effectively
The penalty was 6pts and £150. If the s172 penalty matched the index offence then witholding driver details would cease to be an attractive option.
Alternatively, s172 could carry custody where it is wilfully committed." (emphasis mine)
