What the petition asks
I want the government to change the rules and let learners drive with a person form there house hold and practice for there tests. During the lockdown as we cannot have lessons and I think it is very unfair that we cannot learn to drive
I want the government to do this because it is unfair on all the learner drivers who will have to oh more for lessons and put there test off longer, some people need to drive for there jobs they want to get, I have personally had my test cancelled twice already with my theory test expiring this year.
