Jersey’s new traffic law could see motorists causing harm barred from driving forever.
In Jersey, motorist rules are getting a revamp after states approved new restrictions to cut road accidents. Proposed by Deputy Catherine Curtis, drivers may face a lifetime ban if they don't report collisions causing injury or death. New mandates also require aiding injured parties.
Despite being a small region, Jersey's road casualty rate is the UK's highest. The change emphasizes driving as a privilege, aimed to deter reckless behavior, hoping a ban threat ensures accountability.
