Make a CBT (compulsory basic training) part of the UK Car driving test

Closed 465 signatures

What the petition asks

More and more motorcyclists are being hurt or killed by people who have never ridden or past a Motorcycle basic test.
I want the Government to debate and hopefully make a CBT part of the driving test to help new drivers be aware that they share the road with vulnerable motorcyclists. Hopefully this will reduce if not stop accidents and deaths that could be prevented with a bit more awareness
