“We think that should be increased because it is too low, especially considering it is a death of a life,” Mr. Smith stated. “I’ve seen some less than stellar driving on the roads here in St. Kitts, if I may put it that way, and I think if we are not careful, we may have more road fatalities as a result.”

The DPP added that a similar review is necessary for the offence of Causing Death by Dangerous Driving. The maximum penalty for a court conviction is five years.

“It’s on the cards,” stated DPP Smith, noting that the Attorney General has set July as his deadline for implementing these and other recommendations as part of the criminal justice reform in St. Kitts and Nevis.
