This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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

Tailgating is already illegal, as it is considered careless driving. Those found guilty face a fixed penalty of £100 and 3 points on their driver’s licence. The most serious examples will continue to go through court, where offenders may face higher penalties. You can find out more here:

We are therefore not sure what else you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
