If the Moving Ontarians Safely Act was passed, penalties would apply to all driving offences under the Highway Traffic Act that result in the death or serious injury of a vulnerable road user.
It includes:
- community service;
- license suspension;
- driver re-education;
- and also requires a culpable motorist to attend court for sentencing and to hear victim impact statements.
Vulnerable road users include cyclists, pedestrians, road workers and people who use mobility devices like walkers or wheelchairs.
