Keep driving tests & lessons during second lockdown in England

What the petition asks
Continue operating driving tests & lessons in England (DVSA)
Driving tests are an essential service and are Covid secure with measures such as sanitising of cars, ventilation from windows, face coverings and recorded details for track & trace. They have been delayed for months and there is no reason to cause further disruption while schools and other educational settings are still open. The same applies to driving lessons.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: Exempt driving tests and lessons from COVID-19 restrictions
