Ban Wearing Burka's While Driving

What the petition asks
I and many others will agree that woman wearing a burka should not be allowed to drive a vehicle this is highly dangerous as you do not have full vision of the road and things surrounding you.
I understand this item of clothing worn is a sign of religion. This does not take away the fact of how dangerous wearing this is whilst driving. This has been recently banned in France and I think the UK should take action against this to prevent very serious accidents or even death happening.
