Clause 20 - Causing death by careless, or inconsiderate, driving
Road Safety Bill [Lords]

Owen Paterson (Shadow Minister, Transport; North Shropshire, Conservative)
I am listening very carefully to the hon. Lady, because we disagree fundamentally on the matter. Does she not agree that the person who laid the blow had an intention to hit someone? That was not carelessness; he was not blinded by sunlight turning round a corner. Will she answer this point? The person in question must have had some intent. A person does not hit another carelessly; they intend to hit someone.
