This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition All vehicles using UK roads to have lights on whilst driving.
Rejected on
As a driver of many years I have seen countless people driving in low light areas driving appropriate lighting. We need to make it so everyone contributes to a safer road.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
There are already legal requirements and guidance for using lights when driving, set out in the Highway Code. You can find more information here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/general-rules-techniques-and-advice-for-all-drivers-and-riders-103-to-158
You could start a new petition asking for a specific change to the rules and guidance on lighting requirements.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
