Petition Action

Make it a criminal offence to drive a private vehicle belching out black smoke.

Petition Details

There are numerous occasions on which I have seen private vehicles driving around with black smoke pouring out from the exhaust. These vehicles need taking off the road and fixed before their MOT is due.

Additional Information

I have frequently had to get well away from the road as a vehicle pouring out black smoke from its exhaust has passed. I have seen pedestrians at our village pedestrian crossing engulfed in black smoke as it passed.There is a regular occurrence of these vehicles in our area and undoubtedly it is a national problem. I have tried reporting these to the police,DVLA and DVSA but apparently they are only interested in commercial vehicles being reported.
