What the petition asks
Extend theory test expiry dates in year 2020/21 by at least 1 year due to coronavirus/ lockdown
I believe the government should give people the chance because it is not everyone’s fault that they couldn’t take there driving lessons or tests during lockdown, during the year 2020 and possibly 2021. Leading people’s money go to waste and time which is unfair. It would be greatful for those people whose theory tests were/are expiring in the years 2020/21 as this has been a very hard year, giving a lot of negative impact to people’s lives that we have no control of.
