Give recovery drivers and technicians the blue light discount.
Recovery drivers' jobs can be far from safe because they are risking their lives every day by working on live lanes off the motorway, hard shoulders and public roads. They are using their lives to help ordinary people who are in danger eg The AA and RAC.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about the Blue Light Schemes are a matter for the Blue Light organisation, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Background
The Blue Light Card offers discounts to those working in the NHS, Emergency Services, Social Care sector, and Armed Forces, recognizing their hard work and dedication. However, recovery drivers and technicians, who also face daily risks to ensure public safety, are unfortunately excluded from this valuable benefit.
