Lifetime ban proposed for hit-and-run drivers

Jersey motorists should face a lifetime driving ban if they are involved in a car accident and do not stop to help anyone who is injured, a deputy says.

The 1956 law already makes it an offence for people not to report an accident.

But Deputy Catherine Curtis has lodged a proposal for an amendment with the States of Jersey, saying a lifetime driving ban will stop dangerous drivers from getting back on the road and possibly hurting someone else.

Politicians are due to discuss her proposal on 13 May.
