Stop Abuse of Minibus Driver Licensing

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Are you aware that currently a large percentage of children in this country are being transported by drivers who do not possess the appropriate driving licences and are therefore driving vehicles that they are not licensed to drive. 
.
We have a situation whereby drivers possessing car licences are transporting vulnerable passengers in minibuses with over 9 seats without the necessary vocational licences thereby putting lives at risk! 
We need the support of the general public to bring this abuse to an end.
Are you willing to just sit back and wait for a major incident before taking action on this issue ? 
Lets STOP this madness NOW!!!

Why it was rejected
