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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure if you want compulsary training to use e-scooters, or if you'd like a voluntary course, which would be a decision for educational providers and not the UK Government or Parliament.

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