Recognize spaghetti colander as a religious headwear for driving license photos.
As a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I believe that wearing a spaghetti colander as my religious headwear is an essential expression of my faith. I want the UK to Amend policy to allow expression of faith & promote diversity.
the current guidelines of the DVLA do not allow for headwear in driving license photos, except for religious or medical reasons.
the spaghetti colander is a legitimate religious headwear and should be recognized. all individuals should have the freedom to express their religious beliefs in a manner that is important to them. The recognition of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and its religious symbols would be a significant step towards promoting diversity and tolerance in the UK

Decisions regarding what is, or is not acceptable in driving licence photos, are an operational matter for the DVLA, and not that of the Government or Parliament.
