Rejected petition Allow 16 year olds to take driving test, to avoid overcrowding on bus & trains.

Rejected on 30 July 2020

Reduce age limit for driving test to 16yrs

busses and trains pose a challenge to social distancing. Allowing 16 year olds to sit the driving test would enable many to get to college or school independently minimising the risk of contracting COVID-19 as they travel
