What the petition asks
We, the undersigned, call upon the Government to introduce legislation requiring all motorcycle and moped delivery riders to hold a full, valid motorcycle licence before being permitted to work in the food delivery industry.
We think this measure is urgently needed to improve road safety for all.
We think requiring a full motorcycle licence would ensure that all riders have undergone proper training, possess strong road awareness, and are capable of making safe, responsible decisions in traffic. We think such a standard would not only protect the riders themselves but also safeguard other road users from preventable accidents.
We urge the Government to act to address this issue and make our roads safer for everyone.
