What the petition asks
As a driver of many years I have seen countless people driving in low light areas driving appropriate lighting. We need to make it so everyone contributes to a safer road.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
There are already legal requirements and guidance for using lights when driving, set out in the Highway Code. You can find more information here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/general-rules-techniques-and-advice-for-all-drivers-and-riders-103-to-158
You could start a new petition asking for a specific change to the rules and guidance on lighting requirements.
