Rejected petition Extend driving theory test expiry due to COVID-19

People unable to book driving tests due to COVID-19 should have their theory test deadlines extended by 6 months.

More details

It is unfair to expect people to retake their theory test, which is what they will have to do seeing as driving tests have been cancelled for up to 3 months. The backlog of this will mean those who intended to book tests over summer cannot, as the calendar is full and they risk their theory test expiring.
