Push back all driving tests by 4 weeks

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Push back all driving tests 4 weeks to compensate for those losing a test in November. Don’t make those with cancelled tests wait months to get a new date whilst people with early December tests can go ahead with theirs! This has to be done fairly !!

This has to be done fairly! It is only right to make everyone wait an extra month for their driving test rather than make only those with November tests wait till next year.

Without tests being pushed back those with November tests will be forced to wait until February/ March time to even get a test which is totally unacceptable!!

All tests must be postponed by the length of time in which the lockdown lasts, in order to be fair on all learner drivers!!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Arrangements for the booking of driving tests is a matter for individual test centres, not the Government or House of Commons.
