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 videocalling while driving a specific criminal offence
The Government should make videocalling while driving a specific criminal offence, with penalties in line with those for drink and drug driving.
More details
I want this law change as my farther was killed by someone who was videocalling while driving and they only got a sentence of 30 months.
There are already offences for using a mobile phone while driving, but making videocalling while driving a specific criminal offence, with penalties in line with drink and drug driving, should help stop particularly dangerous behaviour.
I want the Government to make these changes to protect us all from individuals who feel it’s okay to videocall while driving, even when there may be a serious outcome.
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months
