Allow driving tests to take place during the Jan/Feb 2021 Lockdown

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Driving tests should be classed as an essential activity. Learner drivers should be allowed to take their driving test during this new lockdown with Covid-19 measures in place (e.g. open windows, masks.)

The DVLA test backlog is already far too great, this does not need to be increased further. Many learners are ready to take driving tests and don’t need anymore lessons. Many have also already had their test rescheduled once. Learners who are ready should be able to take their test.
