We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Make it law that all electric vehicles be retrofitted with white noise to alert
The government to pass a bill to make it law that all vehicle manufacturers retrofit white noise on vehicles. This must also be tested in an MOT.
More details
A blind friend of mine could not hear a car approaching as it was electric. Luckily her guide dog would not allow her to cross, even though she urged him on as she 'thought' the road was clear. I have also witnessed a relative of mine almost hit by an electric car in a car park as there was no sound to indicate it was reversing out of a car parking space. Blind and partially sighted people are most at risk, but so are the young and elderly. Requiring retrofitting should prevent many accidents.
