Cyclists who kill or seriously hurt pedestrians could be prosecuted like
dangerous drivers under new laws being considered by the government.

Drivers convicted of death by dangerous driving face up to 14 years in
jail.

But there is currently no law against causing death by dangerous
cycling, with most cases of careless cycling being dealt with by fines.

I thought the law of manslaughter or causing grievous bodily harm should
cover those situations.
The maximum penalty for manslaughter is life in jail.
