What the petition asks
The people who were all booked in November to sit their practical driving test should be given priority in terms if fairness and equality to all so i request the government look into moving all booked tests back by one month
When the system reopened in September to accept a lot of candidates had to spend hours upon hours waiting to get a test booked due to very high demand .
Now it seems anyone who booked just prior to lockdown is going to get much faster than those who have been waiting for months to take their test

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions about booking individual tests is an operational matter for test centres, not the Government or House of Commons.
