What the petition asks
Due to COVID-19 the recurring lockdowns and restrictions have seen a lot of people loose the right to take there driving test due to there theory test being invalid after the expiry date has passed, as they may have had a chance to take there test have had more time.
This effects not just people doing there car test or there motorbike test this includes everyone doing any type of driving related test, which include a theory. This means if you extend the expiry date by at least a year people will have the opportunity to book there tests again when the first opportunity comes around.
