Rejected petition Extension on theory test, due to Covid-19
The dvsa theory test as you may know allows you two year once you have past to complete your practical test and if pass you're then awarded your full licence.
This year has been hard on everyone trying to follow the rules and stay distance from people we don't have to interact with.

Along with that practical test not being operational. Sitting in a car with someone has also been appointed contention, private hire vehicle have erected screens to minimise spread of the virus, there hasn't been the same possibility to do that with instructors vehicle's and therefore not felt like the safety or right thing to do.
That is why I am proposing that the government let anyone who has passed there theory test an extension on the 2 years they have to pass.
