But in 2013 the Supreme Court ruled that, due to the way the legislation was worded, prosecutors still had to prove the driving was at fault - thus rendering the new law fairly redundant, as a driver could then be charged by careless or dangerous driving.
"What we're specifically looking to do with the Harry Parker Bill, is that if a driver without a licence crashes into somebody and it results in death, it would automatically be deemed careless," he said.
They said: "We examined this case in great detail - including obtaining the advice of a forensic collision expert - and it has become clear that there is not enough evidence to demonstrate that this collision could reasonably have been avoided, and therefore that the driving was careless.".
Adam Parker now spends every morning on the road outside Harry's school, making sure all the pupils get across safety.
In 2006 the Labour government introduced a new offence of causing death while driving without a licence or insurance, punishable by up to two years in prison.
