Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Sort out the way the DVLA are treating all us drivers. Very unfair. People are losing there jobs, left without documentation. People rely heavily on needing a driving licence. This is people lives the DVLA are messing with. Peoples mental health etc are suffering. Come on people pets join forces!
At the moment its strike after strike. There are a lot of drivers that are due medicals, waiting on the passports and documentation back, that have been waiting months and months.
Peoples jobs are on the line due to needing there licences.
Peoples mental health are suffering
People need there licences for medical reasons and rely heavily on this fact.
There needs to be an investigation in to DVLA and something needs to be done about the length of time we are having to wait!
