Allow DVSA to conduct driving tests during this next lockdown period.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The DVSA already have a huge backlog from the last lockdown which was more of an unknown. Driving is a learning and educational experience and also by 1-1 tuition. You have allowed schools and colleges to remain open for educational purposes where 100s of students attend one campus.
DVSA say they have consulted with the government and the government have said they must suspend all tests during this next lockdown period. Only the government have the power to overturn this decision.
