Rejected petition Allow driving lessons and tests to continue in any new lockdown

Driving lessons and tests, including theory and practical tests, should be allowed to continue under lockdown

More details

Whilst it has yet to be confirmed, another national lockdown appears to be likely, but the government have ruled out closing educational settings. Driving lessons are also a form of education, and given people will be avoiding public transport due to the greater risk, it is safer for people to drive. Very , very few coronavirus infections are acquired through driving lessons and so they should not be stopped.
