Rejected petition Learner drivers should be able to practise driving with members of household.

Review the legislation on the new rule regarding learner drivers not being able to practise driving with a member of their household due to corona virus.

More details

For many young people learning to drive this is a brilliant time to practice. We have not much else to do and it gives us something to focus on and look forward to. It also allows us to keep up the work we have learnt with our instructors. Without confidence of when lockdown will end, this is very in nerving as we do not know how long this will last. It will slow down the process so much and there will be a large delay in practical tests and is going to take a lot longer for learners to pass.
