Change speeding penalties to 1point for up to 25MPH on a 20MPH road
- 2,317 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,446 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We feel that the current penalty of 3 points for speeding in 20mph areas is disproportionate. We think the current penalty treats these drivers the same as other drivers who speed at much higher limits.
Amend Section 27 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 to include all public highways
- 408 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,091 - 40 added in the past 24hrs)
The existing Act deals with keeping dogs on a lead whilst on a road 'designated' by the local authority, but such roads are very rare and this legislation is seldom used.
Negotiate UK-wide recognition of older person's bus passes
- 1,400 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,057 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)
I think senior citizens living close to the English, Scottish & Welsh borders are disadvantaged in how many local bus services they can use. Bus services run across borders and I think it would be easier and fairer if the bus pass covered the whole journey, and return, on all of these services.
Regulate lifeguard provision and require them to use coloured flags
- 2,029 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,035 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I would like to the Government to regulate lifeguard provision at all major beaches. This would be done at beach towns with 25,000+ residents. I think it is paramount to make our beaches as safe as possible.
School Minibus Safety - Remove Section 19 Exemptions for Schools
- 1,400 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,430 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We call on the Government to remove Section 19 exemptions for schools in the Transport Act 1985, so children and young people are only driven by qualified, professional drivers, and that minibuses are maintained to commercial standards, by requiring a full Public Service Vehicle Operator’s Licence.
Add Morocco to the list of 'designated countries' for driving licence exchange
- 1,243 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,268 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Driving licence holders from 'designated countries' can exchange their non-GB driving licence for a British licence. We urge the UK government to add Morocco to this list of designated countries.
Change interim driving disqualifications from 6 months to until sentencing.
- 1,202 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,224 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
We think anyone convicted of a driving offence should have a full driving ban until sentencing, with no exceptions, so there is no chance of that person being able to drive whilst waiting for sentencing.
Make it mandatory for drivers to provide Driving Licence to get insurance
- 1,106 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,180 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
We request the government to take immediate steps to amend existing legislation to mandate the provision of valid driving licence details by all individuals, irrespective of their nationality or immigration status, when applying for vehicle insurance.

- 1,046 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,086 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
Online discourse indicates that a growing number of drivers are adversely impacted by the proliferation of excessively bright LED headlights, which impair the vision other road users.

- 178 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 987 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)
We urge the Government to change the English national concessionary travel scheme (ENCTS) so the disabled bus pass can be used at any time, including before 9:30am on weekdays.
