Change hit & run laws

The Editor, I think it's time our MLAs, etc. get the government to change the law regarding leaving the scene of an accident. Lots of people do this and not a lot happens to them, maybe a small fine. They all use the same excuse: "I was scared.

The Editor,

I think it's time our MLAs, etc. get the government to change the law regarding leaving the scene of an accident.

Lots of people do this and not a lot happens to them, maybe a small fine. They all use the same excuse: "I was scared. Didn't know what to do."

And this always comes two to three days later, with themselves in with their lawyer.

I bet a million dollars the first big reason is drinking, so 72 hours later, even a blood best would be clean.

Also, anyone who helps hide them needs to face harsher penalties.
