Allow learner drivers to practice with family during Covid lockdown in England.
Allow learner drivers in England to continue driving practice with members of their household or support bubble when the journey is for essential reasons ie. travel for work, education or other essential journeys.
Learner drivers are already suffering with the setback of not being allowed to take professional driving lessons due to the latest Covid-19 restrictions and the suspension of driving tests. I believe that it is perfectly reasonable that these learner drivers in England should still be able to practice driving with members of their household or support bubble when the journey is for essential reasons ie. travel for work, education or other essential journeys as they are in Scotland and Wales.
