Petition Action

Make it illegal to cycle under the influence of alcohol.

Petition Details

As cycling takes a great amount of focus and concentration and focus just like driving & knowing that a bike cycled dangerously can cause minor or in some cases serious injuries to the victims including death, it should legally be the case that you should have to be sober and in a fit state of mind.

Additional Information

Many cases of evidence can be found, such as fatalities being caused by dangerous cyclists and drunk cyclists including a number of fatalities to back up my case.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what action you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to take, because cycling when under influence of drink or drugs is already illegal.
