Stop DVLA selling drivers details to parking companies without our permission

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The DVLA pockets 25m a year by selling our details to private parking cowboys. The DVLA does not pass any of this money on to motorists and continues to raise charges and fees. I don't want other companies knowing what Car I have at my house as it is a car often targeted by thieves.
