Cycle death case handling 'may need to change'

The way cycling deaths are treated by police and prosecutors may need to
change, the former Director of Public Prosecutions has said.

Last year a Freedom of Information request by BBC's Newsbeat found that
between 2007 and 2014 there were 276 recorded incidents where a cyclist
was killed in an accident involving a motor vehicle.
Of these, 148 - 54% - resulted in the driver of the vehicle being
charged with an offence. Of those found guilty, fewer than half went to
prison.
