All PCV licence holders to be able to get a PCO licence automatically
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
PCV licence is short for Passenger carrying vehicles, if we can transport more than 16 passengers in a bus we should be able to drive a car with passengers in it and get paid.
It seems logical to allow people who transport huge amounts of people to be able to transport people in a car.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about requirements and licensing for private hire vehicle drivers are a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
