The most serious contravention of the Road Traffic Act is Section 1 causing death by dangerous driving.
Death by dangerous driving is the most serious charge a driver can face. These cases are taken to the High Court and if convicted the office carries a maximum prison sentence of 14 years and a minimum period of disqualification of 24 months. The driver must also re-sit and pass the extended driving test should the offender want to apply for a licence when their ban is lifted.
Any fatality following a road traffic accident will be devastating for all of those involved. This will include those charged with the offence of causing death by dangerous driving.
