Allow driving lessons taught by parents during lockdown

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow parents or guardians to teach driving lessons during the lockdown period

On the official Government website it states that driving lessons taught by parents are not an essential journey. However, I and many others would argue that in a car, one is not exposed to the outside and is safe as long as the persons remain within the car.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started this petition, the Government has changed its guidance to allow non-essential travel.

Professional driving lessons were also allowed to resume from 4 July.
