Petition Change the theory test system to let learner drivers take the test at home

We want the UK to change the test system and allow learner drivers to take their theory test at home. The current system for learner drivers requires them to take their theory test in a designated centre.

More details

In some states and under certain circumstances, learner drivers in the USA are allowed to take the theory test (written test) at home while people at the test centre record their screen remotely. Taking a theory test at test centres can be stressful and sometimes inconvenient if you're unable to get to the test centre. Having the ability to take your test at home could ease the stress and reduce any backlog the DVLA may have with people wanting to take the test.
