Rejected petition Make driving lessons essential, during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

The UK Government should make driving lessons an essential practise during the COVID-19 lockdowns, no matter the tier.

More details

Many people who have jobs far from home, have relied on public transport to get them to and from work, but due to COVID, transport may have been cut, or not deemed safe at all. As well as this, allowing people to learn how to drive, will open job opportunities for them, if they have lost their job due to the outbreak, or it will help them gain a wider variety of jobs available to them once they have the additional capability of driving.
