Cassie's Law
Responsible department: Department for Transport
We would like to call on the Government to change the law so that the police have the power to temporarily suspend the driving licences of motorists whom they feel are unfit to drive. If this law was in place it would mean that my friend would be alive today. Details of the incident are on the following link, please support this cause! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... l-car.html Thank you!

I see this as a sensible and logical extension of the powers the police already have under s59 of the Police Reform Act, which already allows seizure of vehicles under certain circumstances. It would just extend that to licences.
Potentially a valuable tool in the road safety armoury, and would benefit all legal and sensible road users, particularly more vulnerable ones.
