How will they manage to write this law so as to exclude car drivers? It
would surely be hard to argue that someone who caused death by
"dangerous driving" had not also displayed "reckless indifference" to
the consequences. This sounds like a lower level of offence than the
"grosss negligence" that currently related to manslaughter. But I would
be astonished if this new law was applied to car crashes. The odd
cyclist will no doubt get locked up for it though, if they fail to dodge
a pedestrian who runs in front of them.
