This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Stop HGV 1 & 2 Lorries overtaking on the motorways.
Stop HGV vehicles changing lanes on the motorway especially left hand drive vehicles that can not see what’s in the inside lane.
More details
Too many accidents occurring on the motorways due to overtaking and changing lanes by these lorries. I would like all HGV’s to have their own lane. They should not be overtaking or changing lanes or sharing lanes with cars drivers. My mother and I nearly lost our lives as a left hand HGV 1 lorry changed lanes and smashed into our car. The motorway had to be closed for some time. We are lucky to be alive. We were told by the Traffic Officers that this happens constantly on the motorways.
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.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about HGVs on the motorway, but it's not clear if you want the Government to ban all HGVs from being able to overtake on motorways, to give HGVs their own lane that other vehicles cannot use, or something else.
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.
