Rejected petition Extend Theroy Test Certificates that expire in 2021 for learners.
Rejected on
Due to the Corona Virus Pandemic, learners who have booked their tests, and then they have been rearranged or cancelled may miss out due to their theory expiring.
If the government would extend theory tests that expire in 2021 by 6 months to a year, this would give learners the opportunity to, hopefully take and pass their test.
It is no ones fault that students can't take their test and it is unfair to force learners to retake their theory if they miss out this year.
