Rejected petition Keep driving tests & lessons during second lockdown in England
Rejected on
Continue operating driving tests & lessons in England (DVSA)
Driving tests are an essential service and are Covid secure with measures such as sanitising of cars, ventilation from windows, face coverings and recorded details for track & trace. They have been delayed for months and there is no reason to cause further disruption while schools and other educational settings are still open. The same applies to driving lessons.
