Rejected petition Protect Horses Owners Right to Ride Safely On Roads

More details

Petition to support our rights as horse owners to use the UK's roads in safety.This is becoming increasingly difficult due to the widespread attitude of motorist that we are no longer welcome on the roads.

I have put together this petition to highlight the plight of riders and the dangerous nature of the UK's roads for use by horse owners, coupled with dwindling accessibility to safe off road riding. Please sign if you want to see safer roads, better bridleway access and higher penalties for dangerous drivers who kill and injure horses and riders daily on the UK's roads.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The rights of road users, including horse riders, are set out in the Highway Code. What is the petition calling for that is not set out therein?

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