Regulate the horse box build industry

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want strict regulations to be in place for businesses that build and sell horse boxes in line with the motor industry.
I am victim to a horsebox builder that didn’t make sure the vehicle was safe, road legal and within the required weights to transport horses safely. I broke down on the m4 which had to be closed in both directions because the seller (business) didn’t make sure the vehicle was safe, this unfortunately happens very frequently, my breakdown could have resulted in a serious accident and someone could have been killed

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about how people who sell horse boxes are regulated, but it's not clear how you want traders who sell horse boxes to be regulated.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
