Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about this are a matter for the Motability Scheme, not the UK Government or Parliament. The Motability Scheme is a body that operates independently from UK Government.
