Rejected petition Remove the moped restriction of 28MPH. (50cc) to save lives and prevent traffic.
Ever stuck behind a moped doing 28mph on a 50mph road (that's almost half the speed!)? Well it's not their fault. Most Mopeds are fully capable of going faster which is actually safer! What would you do if a car was coming at you? You might accelerate out the way, something mopeds can't do!
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.
The law doesn't restrict the speed of mopeds, so we're not sure what action you'd like Government or Parliament to take. The law defines mopeds as vehicles that are designed to have a maximum speed of 28 miles per hour. A vehicle that goes faster than 28 mph is defined as a motorbike.
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.
