Pacemaker/defibrillator

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I had a pacemaker/defibrillator fitted and dvla said it's a permanent bar and revoked my group 2 vehicles license. My cardiologist states after 6months there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to drive group 2vehicles.

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.
