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 Give police and Courts greater powers to tackle driving while using a phone
We want police and courts to have stronger powers to clamp down on this life-threatening offence. We believe police should in some circumstances be able to seize some combination of an offender's phone, licence or even car; perhaps all three, as should the Courts.
More details
We believe the threat of losing a phone, licence or car will deter many more people from this dangerous behavior than do the current penalties.
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months
