Why was this petition rejected?

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

Much of what your petition asks for, including action against red-light violations, pavement riding and the unlawful use of private e-scooters on public roads, relates to behaviour that is already illegal.

We're not sure what specific new action you would like the Government or Parliament to take.

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