Ban HGV overtaking on motorways to help improve safety and traffic flow

Petition Details

The Government should introduce a ban on heavy goods vehicles overtaking on motorways, with exceptions only for passing stationary or broken-down vehicles. This should be supported by clear signage, effective enforcement, penalties, and alignment with road safety practices in parts of Europe.
