Ban surface dressing to protect riders on two wheels

What the petition asks
Stop local authorities using surface dressing as a cheap fix for roads. There are too many accidents caused by surface dressing to riders of bicycles, scooters and motorbikes.
There is a 20 mph limit but cars sometimes go fast and chips can fly up and hit riders. Riders can lose grip on these roads and end up in A & E.
