This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Allow driving lessons taught by parents during lockdown
Allow parents or guardians to teach driving lessons during the lockdown period
More details
On the official Government website it states that driving lessons taught by parents are not an essential journey. However, I and many others would argue that in a car, one is not exposed to the outside and is safe as long as the persons remain within the car.
