Petition · past parliament

Theory test to be longer than 2 years during covid back log

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Extend the two year theory tests to people who have passed from 2020. As covid hit and there has been a massive amount of back log to get test. Having the stress of when finding a test you HAVE to pass first time otherwise it’ll run out, it’s unfair now.
Email and extension from everyone who passed their theory in 2020 from covid.
