Review the driving test booking process, ban resales at inflated prices & bots

Closed 179 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe the Government needs to find a way to reduce the backlog of driving tests. We want the Government to review the process for booking driving tests, ban the resale of tests at inflated prices and the use of automated bots to buy tests.
We would also like the review to look into introducing more driving test centres. The ongoing issue of driving tests is something I am passionate about resolving. It is so difficult for many people to book a test and we believe the usage of bots is unfair. We believe the Government needs to find a solution to cut the backlog and help learner drivers to be able to safely and fairly get a driving test.
