Make failure to indicate a specific road safety offence

Open for signatures 37 signatures

What the petition asks

Introduce clearer enforcement, fines and penalty points for drivers who fail to indicate when changing lanes, overtaking or turning. Treat failure to signal as a specific road safety offence, except where indicating is genuinely unnecessary.

We believe failure to indicate is a widespread and dangerous behaviour that causes collisions and near misses. Motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians are especially at risk as they rely on clear signals to react safely. Indicators are a basic driving requirement, yet lack of enforcement means many drivers ignore them. Proper penalties could improve road awareness, reduce accidents and save lives.
