Allow certain learner drivers to drive unsupervised for a limited period

Petition Details

The Government should allow learner drivers who have had a driving test cancelled due to Covid 19, or have been certified by an approved driving instructor, to drive unsupervised for a limited period.

Additional Information

Before Covid 19, the average waiting time for a driving test was two months. However, due to all driving test centres being closed, the waiting time is likely to significantly increase. This will cause hardship to learners as they will have to wait for longer before being able to attempt a test. Most learners are also currently unable to take driving lessons, and if they are unable to drive during the lockdown they may need to pay for unnecessary revision lessons.
