"The car becomes a projectile." PiS wants harsh penalties for road killers

The Law and Justice party's proposal responds to the case of Sebastian M., who received an 8-year sentence for a fatal accident on the A1 highway. This incident resulted in the deaths of three people, and the proposed changes aim to increase penalties for speeding-related fatalities. Lawmakers suggest a prison term of 8 to 25 years for exceeding the speed limit by over 100 km/h. PiS representatives emphasize the need for public safety on roads, while the ruling coalition shows mixed reactions to the proposal. Discussions on the new legislation are expected to take place by the end of November.
