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 aren't sure what you would like the UK Government or Parliament to do. We understand you are concerned about the level of VED on motorcycles but we aren't sure what action you would like the Government to take.
You could start a new petition setting out clearly how you would like VED on motorcycles to be changed.
