What the petition asks
Stop HGV vehicles changing lanes on the motorway especially left hand drive vehicles that can not see what’s in the inside lane.
Too many accidents occurring on the motorways due to overtaking and changing lanes by these lorries. I would like all HGV’s to have their own lane. They should not be overtaking or changing lanes or sharing lanes with cars drivers. My mother and I nearly lost our lives as a left hand HGV 1 lorry changed lanes and smashed into our car. The motorway had to be closed for some time. We are lucky to be alive. We were told by the Traffic Officers that this happens constantly on the motorways.
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 HGVs on the motorway, but it's not clear if you want the Government to ban all HGVs from being able to overtake on motorways, to give HGVs their own lane that other vehicles cannot use, or something else.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
