This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition Make it a criminal offence to harass a learner driver who is on a lesson.

It is becoming more and more dangerous for driving instructors to teach learners on UK roads.
We are harassed on a daily basis, other road users are increasingly more irritated and drive aggressively when they see a learner driver, making it a unsafe environment.

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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Some of the behaviour you describe is already an offence.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for new rules to be included in the highway code about driving near learner drivers, if that's what you want to happen.

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