Continue driving tests during the lockdown taking place from 5th November.

What the petition asks

Many people have waited a long time to take their driving test. By suspending tests again, the government is creating a further backlog of tests to carry out which is making essential trips (especially for keyworkers) much harder during this pandemic when we are advised to stay off public transport.

Schools/colleges/universities have been allowed to stay open, which is where the coronavirus will spread the most. Given this, it seems reasonable that driving tests should be able to continue as well (with all the social distancing measures in place).
