Allow learner drivers to practise with members of their household/support bubble

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

For learners living in Scotland or Wales they can legally practise driving with members of their household or support bubble. I would like the Government to change the law to allow learners in England to do the same.

The change in the law not allowing learners to practise driving with members of their household or support bubble, will have a massive negative impact on our progress and road confidence. As a learner with my test booked for March, driving with a member of my household is my only means to practice and build up my confidence on the road.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: Allow learner drivers to go out and drive with people from their household.

Under current Government guidance, you can practise driving with members of your household or support bubble. It must be travel for work, education or other essential journeys: https://www.gov.uk/driving-lessons-learning-to-drive/practising-with-family-or-friends
