What the petition asks
Since the pandemic started, we believe the DVLA has not been handling driving licence renewals adequately. There are hundreds of people, some of whom are on the frontline, that are unable to drive because their renewal has not been processed.
A review could identify the reasons for the current backlog, so that action can be taken to tackle these.
