Rejected petition Cyclists should have insurance to cycle on the road.

Rejected on 5 May 2022

I want parliament to discuss whether cyclists should have insurance to cycle on a public highway, just the same as every other road user must have.

I want parliament to put in place a law that states that if cyclists want to use a public highway, they should be fully insured.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure if you want Parliament to debate whether cyclists should have insurance, or the Government to introduce a law requiring them to do so.

In any case, we already have a petition open calling for a very similar action, which you might like to sign:

Require cyclists have lights, license plate and insurance to use the roads: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/604266

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
