27. Causing death by reckless or dangerous driving

Whoever, by the conduct described in section 28, causes the death of any person is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of $20,000 and imprisonment for 7 years and, in the case of a second or subsequent conviction, the same fine and imprisonment.

The conviction of any person of an offence under section 28

On a conviction under subsection (1), the court shall order that such person be disqualified for life from holding or obtaining a licence to drive any motor vehicle from the date of the conviction, unless the court, for special reasons (which shall be set out in the order of the court) thinks fit to order otherwise.

If upon the trial of a person for an offence under this section the court is not satisfied that his driving was the cause of death, but is satisfied that he is guilty of driving as specified in subsection (1), it shall be lawful for the court to convict him of an offence under section 28, whether or not the requirements of section 30 have been satisfied as respects that offence.
