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 you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure whether you'd like limits for all van drivers up the limit of 3.5 tonnes, or only for specific 3.5 tonne vans.

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