The maximum jail term for causing death by dangerous driving in NI is set to increase from 14 to 20 years, Justice Minister Naomi Long is proposing.
She outlined the move in talks with the parents of teenagers Enda Dolan and Lesley-Ann McCarragher.
Mr Dolan was killed by dangerous driving in 2014, and Ms McCarragher in 2016.
However the legislative change, subject to assembly approval, is not likely until after the 2022 Stormont election.
Mrs Long s decision follows a review of sentencing policy started in 2016.
