Rejected petition Extend driving theory tests in the UK due to Coronavirus

Extend theory tests in the UK as students were not able to take their practical driving test from March - July and now will not be able to take it all through November. There has also been a huge back log of driving tests so students have not been able to book a driving test until 3+ months

More details

The majority of people on the roads did not have to sit a theory test as they did not come into action until 1996, therefore students should be allowed to have an extension for these very particular circumstances.
