MP backs campaign over driving bans
8:32am Sunday 23rd March 2008
Driving bans for jailed motorists should begin once they are released from prison and not while they are serving their sentence, a Conservative MP said.
Shadow roads minister Robert Goodwill has backed a campaign started by Jan Woodward, from Billingham in County Durham, whose 19-year-old daughter Kelly was killed by a drink driver in July 2006.
At present offenders given prison sentences and driving bans can serve both at the same time, meaning that in some cases they can start driving again the day they are released.
