Allow people to take their practical driving test

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

During the 2nd lockdown, those who have an appointment and especially key workers should be allowed to take practical driving tests. Many people are relying on passing these tests for their jobs and families.

After the backlog caused by the last ban on driving tests, those who have a test booked in will most likely be pushed back for months, resulting in possible job losses and more risk of covid cases by using public transport. Allowing tests to go ahead would be the practical route, reducing transmission from around 50 people on a tube to 2 people in a car. And if this isn’t possible, those who had theirs booked in November should be the first priority to get booked in ASAP when lockdown is lifted
