This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about the speed at which to prosecute are a matter for the Courts and the Police, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You may wish to start a petition asking for the speed limit to be increased to 25mph.
