What the petition asks
Throughout the 3 lockdown periods, learner drivers have been faced with the disappointment of cancelled theory tests, practical tests and driving lessons. As education has gone online, it is time for theory tests to be added online to enable leaners to take tests in a covid safe environment.
With blockers that could be added to prevent use of the internet to find answers, the potential to video call and share screens, there is no reason why theory tests should not be accessible online.
With learner drivers being given a major disadvantage and disregarded, allowing some form of normality is the least the government could do.
