Allow Driving Instructors to continue working in a safe way.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like to continue to teach students to drive safely. We have followed all guidelines safely and there is no data to say that we have caused a spike in the R rate. Buses will continue, deliveries with numerous colleagues and taxis but instructors can't continue in a safe 1 on 1 basis.
Let Driving Instructors have the choice of continuing to work to support the economy and not get into debt. It is not the case all self employed people will receive financial support.
