Re: Make them pay for taking off, June 10 letters.

Congratulations to letter-writer Richard Bradley for the article about hit-and-runs.

Hit-and-run drivers, when caught, should be given double plus 10 years jail time. Many lives could be saved if help would be called right away.

Also, there should be a faster way for the police to catch these drivers. Why not make every body shop, by law, report cars that show collision damage? That would certainly rectify this problem.
