The Pedicab Drivers (London) Regulations 2026
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

13 English Language requirement
(1) Subject to the provisions of this regulation, an applicant for a London pedicab driver’s licence must satisfy TfL that the applicant meets the English language requirement. (2) The English language requirement is that the applicant must be able to communicate in English at or above level B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. (3) The ability to communicate in English for the purposes of the English language requirement includes speaking, listening, reading and writing. (4) An applicant for a London pedicab driver’s licence must satisfy TfL of their ability to meet the requirement in paragraph (2) by satisfactorily completing— (a) an English language test conducted by or on behalf of TfL which confirms that the applicant’s level of proficiency in speaking and listening is at level B1 or above on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages; and (b) a test conducted by or on behalf of TfL concerning the matters set out in the Handbook which demonstrates the applicant’s level of proficiency in reading and writing is at level B1 or above on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. (5) The inclusion of speaking and listening in the ability to communicate in English for the purposes of the English Language requirement does not apply if TfL is satisfied that an applicant for a London pedicab driver’s licence has a disability within the meaning of section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 which prevents them from complying with sub-paragraph (4)(a). (6) An applicant for a London pedicab driver’s licence who is the holder of a cab-driver’s licence or a London PHV Driver’s licence and has previously satisfied TfL of their ability to meet the English language requirement in connection with their application made to TfL for such a licence is not required to comply with the requirements of this regulation. (7) TfL may charge the appropriate fee in respect of the test required under paragraph (4).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
