Rejected petition Allow driving lessons and tests to go ahead during lockdown

We want the government to allow those who are ready for their driving tests to be able to take them and allow driving lessons to continue.

More details

In my opinion, driving is essential! People need to drive and get to their place of work. If it is ok for you to sit in a Taxi then surely it is ok to sit in with an instructor for a lesson. During the 1st lockdown, essential workers were still able to sit their driving tests, why isn’t this the case anymore? It would be so much safer if those who are ready to take their test to do so as they would no longer need public transport or need to rely on somebody else to get to their place of work.
