Petition to extend theory test and compulsory bike test certificates

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To extend learner drivers theory test and motorcyclists cbt test certificates, due to the corona virus test centres have been closed on and off for over 6 months, meaning learner drivers test certificates are due to expire, this is no fault of there own and beyond there control
I have had my module 1 and 2 motorbike test canceled many times now due to the test centres being closed, I have recently past my module one part of the test in December, my module 2 part of the test was booked for December 27th, now this has been canceled and this now means that my theory and cbt test certificates are about to expire,

What this means for me is if there is not some kind of extension then I would need to resit my theory test cbt test and mod 1 test again, I feel this is unfair
