What the petition asks
I use a mobility scooter as they feel safer to me and suit my needs however as it’s not a recognised disability aid they are very limiting and cannot be used on public transport I would like to see all users carry a card stating there limitations etc so they can not be misused and end descimination
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you mean by "a recognised disability aid".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask Parliament to change the law, to require all public transport operators to allow people to use mobility scooters.
