Rejected petition Extend the theory expiration date
Rejected on
Extend the theory expiration date as all practical tests are booked up to the end of the year as well as driving lessons because of the lockdown period covid caused. If no one can book a driving lesson or a practical test then the theory will run out due to covid and we would have to take it again.
If no one can book a driving lesson or a practical test (because they’re all booked to the end of the year and further due to having to go into lockdown last year and pushing back a while set of peoples tests and lessons) the theory will run out due to and we would have to take it again which is not fair due to the pushback of practical tests and lessons.There was extended time added onto MOTS and such due to covid. so why should we not be allowed an extended time on our theory expiration date.
