Rejected petition make Face mask optional whenever we take are driving and theory tests In NI

I would like the government to make face masks optional for everyone when completing their driving test. Especially for anyone who has a sensory disability and for anyone who is unable to wear a Mask. it put us at a disadvantage when completing the driving test.

More details

For anyone with a sensory issue, wearing a mask can be pretty distracting, especially when thinking about one thing. This does not give anyone with a sensory problem a real chance of passing their driving test. one way to get around this is if the driving instructor is willing to wear theirs, and we all do covid tests before getting into the car. All the windows were put down so air could get into the car. This is one thing that can happen to help the issue.
