Alfie O鈥橩eefe Hedges is one of the hundreds of people who鈥檝e been killed by hit and run drivers in recent years.

Over the past four years, 5 Live investigates has found that the number of hit and run incidents has gone up by 46% across England and Wales.

The hit and run driver who killed Alfie was sentenced to 12 months in prison. He served six months.

Alfie's mother Joanne O鈥橩eefe told 麻豆约拍 Radio 5 Live: 鈥淚 think a longer sentence would have made a difference to me, obviously not my heartache, that will never go away, but I would have felt justice was done.鈥�

The CPS said: "The test for 'dangerousness' is an objective one: the manner of the driving must have fallen far below the standard required, making a charge of dangerous driving appropriate."
