AutoExec Summary
The Queensland Government is proposing new laws that could result in a 20-year jail sentence for motorists who drive dangerously, evade police and cause death or grievous bodily harm. The proposed legislation would also increase the maximum penalty for the offence of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death or grievous bodily harm. The reform was driven by the advocacy of Claudine Snow, whose family members died in a crash caused by a driver who was under the influence, without a licence, and on the wrong side of the road. The Queensland Government also announced plans to share data with the Federal Government to lower the national road toll.
