This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

It is up to individual car owners, not the Government or House of Commons, to decide what modifications to make to their vehicles, provided they still meet rules on roadworthiness.

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