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 an offence with mandatory custodial sentence not to stop car for police

Any driver who fails to stop for police when requested to do so should face an automatic custodial sentence. Make failing to stop for the police a specific criminal offence with a minimum sentence of a custodial term. No ifs and no buts. If you run you should go to jail.

More details

Before the rule is brought in it should be clearly publicised so people are aware of the consequences of their actions. The sentence for this crime should be in addition to any other sentences.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
