The sister of a school worker killed by a delivery driver who jumped a red light today called for automatic jail terms for killer drivers.
Paul Austin avoided a jail sentence for causing the death of Tracey Wilson in December 2018 in Hornsey.
Last week a court refused his appeal to reduce his 10-year driving ban.
Austin’s lawyers claimed the length of the disqualification was “excessive” but the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal against sentence.
Lorraine Wilson said the ruling helped to deliver justice for her late sister, 55, who had an adult son Courtney and grandson, now three.
But she added that any driver who caused a road death should face a jail term.
Austin pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving and got a six-month suspended sentence.
Ms Wilson said: “The law needs to change — that is the most important thing. People need to go to prison if they have killed someone.”
