Demand a stronger sentence for double killer driver

In August 2011 Audrey Fyfe, a 75-year-old CTC member, was hit and killed by Gary McCourt near her home in Edinburgh.

26 years prior to that McCourt had hit and killed another cyclist, George Dalgity, for which he received a 2 year jail sentence.

Last week McCourt was sentenced to just 300 hours community service and a 5 year driving ban for killing a second time.

Mrs Fyfe's family are distraught and wish to appeal the sentence, however, an 'unduly lenient sentence' appeal can only be made by the prosecution.

CTC want as many people as possible to write in support and has provided a draft letter to the Lord Advocate, who is ultimately responsible for the appeal decision.
Once you have filled out the form below and clicked 'go to next page' you will be able to edit and personalise the letter before sending.

Important one for at least 3 reasons, top of which is to get this killer jailed.

Done. I think the important aspect is getting the message out to the rest of the millions of careless drivers.
IMHO careless driving should be a serious crime even if no collision or injury/death occurs.

Done. Can't believe the lack of helmet can have any bearing on the sentence, absolute nonsense.
