Rejected petition Campaign to provide greater safety awareness for cyclists

More details

We want the Government to take Cycling safety more seriously so as to prevent the several thousand deaths and injuries on British roads each year.

This is to be achieved through bike safety awareness adverts on TV that give drivers a greater understanding of what it’s like to ride a bike on British roads.

Additionally, a policy of introducing bicycle use during driver learning would be implemented, so as to enhance the 'shared road' concept and improve driver awareness towards cyclists and other road users.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
