Extend All Theory Tests due to the Coronavirus Pandemic

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I think anyone’s theory test should be extended due to being a pandemic. This is out of everyone’s control and completely unfair to have to pay and resit.
I want the government to realise we have been in world pandemic and the audacity to have to resist and pay more to this test, when driving lessons and practical tests have been non existent. I feel very strongly that everyone who have previously passed deserve to have their 2 years extended considering the circumstances.
