Allow key workers to take their driving tests and continue with lessons

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to allow all Key Workers in all tiers to continue with driving lessons and take their practical driving tests.
Taking public transport during such uncertain times with two new strains of COVID-19 is frightening for a lot of key/ critical workers. Travelling to work via public transport increases key workers interaction with the public and in turn heightens the risk of contracting COVID-19 and passing it on to family members and colleagues who may even be vulnerable to the virus.
