What the petition asks
Due to the back log with practical driving tests, theory tests certificates should either be extended or those that have passed offered a free retake if the certificate expires before being able to book a practical test.
The wait time to book lessons and a practical test are abysmal, the public should not be made to pay out for theory tests again as not being able to book a practical tests is not their fault.
The backlog on tests due to covid should be reflected in an extention on theory tests certificates.
