Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure what new powers you'd like the police to have.
The Government are looking at possible changes to the law, guidance and training around police pursuits. You can find out more about that and how to respond here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
