What the petition asks
Change the process by law
As seen the Government are going to let car drivers go straight for Class 1, we as Class 2 drivers are very experienced with large vehicles. We should be able to move to Class 1 with only minimal training this will help us to gain out Class 1 licence as we have already paid the cost of Class 2 and gained valuable experience
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 want it to be easier for people with Class 2 licences to get Class 1 licences, but it's not clear what existing requirements to get a Class 1 licence you want to be changed or removed.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
