Petition · past parliament

All vehicles using UK roads to have lights on whilst driving.

Rejected 10 signatures

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.
