Cancellation of at least three penalty points for HGV drivers.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Cancellation of at least three penalty points for Hgv drivers that have accumulated six or more points and so are unable to work. Cancellation of penalty points for minor endorsements.
As Hgv drivers are essential workers and many of them might have accumulated more than six penalty points for minor endorsements thus making them unable to work and unable to help the society with essential work such as transportation.

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 the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions on whether to employ drivers with 6 or more points who aren't disqualified from driving is a matter for employers and not the UK Government or Parliament.
