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.

There is no requirement for older people to retake a driving test. We are therefore not sure what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take.

In Great Britain, people over 70 need to renew their license every three years, but this does not involve a driving test. You can find out more about this here:

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