Rejected petition I would like for drivers over 50 to take a driving theory test
Rejected on
Young driver insurance are stupidly high, the fact that we have more accidents caused by the elderly than the young proves that its needs to change, the elderly never took a theory test when learning. I feel that it would make the roads safer if everyone has taken the same test!
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're concerned about road safety, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition calling for anyone who has not passed a driving theory test to be required to take one in order to keep their driving licence, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
