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 Raise driving licence expiry from 70 to 75

At present, a driving licence expires when a motorist reaches the age of 70 and those who wish to stay on the road have to contact the DVLA.

More details

There are more that 5 million over 70s driving on our roads in Britain, the majority are fit and healthy and should not be applying for a licence renewal until the age of 75. This is a modest increase but is in line with the increasing healthy conditions of the over 70s

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
