Public opinion was outraged by the Hungerford massacre, and the Home Secretary has promised legislation to curb guns. But cars kill more people than guns - last year 16 people died on Britain's roads every day - and yet the drivers of these lethal weapons often get off with a year's ban and a small fine. In British law there is no distinction between the careless driving that damages a car, and that which takes a life. In the Brass Tacks studio, John Harrison asks if there should be stiffer penalties for every driver who kills.
