Episode Details

Victoria’s dangerous driving laws are under intense scrutiny after a 20-month review by the Victorian Law Reform Commission, sparked by rising road deaths and heartbreaking family pleas for justice. A tragic case involving an 11-year-old boy killed in a school crash—where the driver received only a fine—exposed glaring gaps in accountability. The commission is now considering new aggravated offenses or a mid-tier charge for negligent driving causing death or serious injury, aiming to ensure the law delivers real consequences and keeps Victorians safe. Final recommendations are due March 2028.
