VICTIM'S MUM: DRUG DRIVING PLAN IS A JOKE

Fury at 'wrong message' of pilot rehab course

-  ISAAC CROWSON

THE mum of a girl killed by a man high on cocaine has slammed a new scheme aiming to reform convicted drug-drivers.

Gavin Prodger, 50, got 12 years last month for mowing down Lily Lockwood, 10, as she crossed a road.

And Lily's mum Nicola Waters was furious to learn drug-drivers could be able to go on a publicly funded educational course that may even earn them a lower insurance premium when they are allowed to drive again.

Nicola said: "It's a joke. It makes me very angry. It feels like a let-off.

"It's another example of those in the wrong being rewarded and victims being forgotten. We feel like we're serving a life sentence for what he did.
