All restrictions should be verifiable and meet safety standards, giving riders more choice, freedom, and safer progression.","additional_details":"Current A2 rules limit riders to fewer motorcycles – those up to 35kW or, with a fitted restrictor, up to 70kW – reducing choice and sometimes forcing illegal riding, which increases risk. Modern restriction systems can safely limit any bike to 35 kW, giving riders access to more motorcycles and safer technology like ABS and traction control. Updating the law will expand legal options and could help encourage responsible riding, support skill progression, and protect all road users.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":11,"created_at":"2026-03-24T19:15:48.941Z","updated_at":"2026-04-29T22:15:40.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-04-24T08:56:16.228Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-25T16:44:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Hamish Lynas","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DfT","name":"Department for Transport","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-transport"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":11}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Filton and Bradley Stoke","ons_code":"E14001237","mp":"Claire Hazelgrove MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Havant","ons_code":"E14001275","mp":"Alan Mak MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rochester and Strood","ons_code":"E14001447","mp":"Lauren Edwards MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Motherwell, Wishaw and Carluke","ons_code":"S14000099","mp":"Pamela Nash MP","signature_count":5}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":1},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":2},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":3},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":5}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
