Rejected petition Give everyone with a car driving licence entitlements to drive C1
Rejected on
Currently there is an international shortage of commercial drivers. Given the pandemic there is a major backlog of tests. The Government are allowing car drivers to tow trailers up to 3,500kg - why not allow. C1 without a trailer also?
This would mobilise a larger potential workforce, which should enable a more effective restart of the economy. These steps should enable immediate help towards food deliveries and allow more resilience across the nation
