Do not allow the driving of SUVs on a standard driving licence

What the petition asks
SUVs are unnecessarily dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists. Their size, weight and bonnet design can result in death or serious injury that would not be caused by a similar collision in a car. People should not be able to drive an SUV on a standard driving licence.
We believe large heavy vehicles with high square bonnets are too dangerous to be a standard vehicle type, that can be driven using a standard driving licence.
We want the Government to revise the licence categories so SUV is a separate class, with its own licence.
