Rejected petition: Allow 16 year olds to ride a 125cc moterbike.
Rejected on
I believe that 50cc mopeds are very dangerous due to the fact that they quite frankly are not fast enough for UK roads and easily cause accidents, therefore I believe 125cc moterbikes ,with thorough amount of training for the riders , would be suitable.
50cc mopeds are too slow for UK roads. They cause way to many accidents and its always 16 year olds riding them. 125cc moterbikes are fast enough for the UK roads and are therefore less dangerous. With enough training 125 cc moterbikes would be suitable for 16 year olds to ride on the roads. This can improve travel , which can help more 16 year olds get jobs to prevent early homelessness.
