Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you're concerned about bus drivers being able to drive 7.5 tonne lorries, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
The current C1 licensing requirements vary, depending on when someone got their licence to drive a car and whether they want to drive a 7.5 tonne lorry professionally or only for their own use.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
