Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition because we are not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government or Parliament to change the rules around pacemakers and driving if that's something you would like to see happen.
