What the petition asks
To allow class 2 drivers free upgrade to training and licensing of class 1 HGV
Make it easier for current class 2 drivers
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 the Government to eliminate the cost of going from a Class 2 to a Class 1 HGV licence, but we're not sure if you want the Government to fund free training and testing for this, or simply upgrade Class 2 licences to Class 1 licences.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
