Re-open Driving Tests.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Be fair to everyone that had tests booked in November, push back all tests by 4 weeks so the system is fair. Do not make those people taking tests in November wait 4 or 5 months. Some have already had tests cancelled due to the first lockdown.

All driving instructors and learners are already taking recommended precautions.

Schools & Universities are still open, taxis and public transport able to continue but 1-2-1 driving lessons can’t, where is the logic?

No extensions to Theory test certificates, many will expire with long delays.

People need to get on the road to access jobs and education. Those with Tests booked for November should be allowed to continue lessons for those not taking a test could be paused.

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

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