In brief

A public consultation on road traffic offences has been launched by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) seeking comments on how
offences are prosecuted and the services offered to victims and witnesses. The CPS wants views on what should constitute dangerous and careless driving; what information victims and their families want; and how cases
involving the death of a family member or close friend should be prosecuted. The Director of Public Prosecutions, Sir Ken Macdonald QC, says: “The way bad driving is dealt with is a matter of great public concern and I am determined to ensure we offer the best possible service.”
