Petition Action

Allow learner drivers to practise with members of their household/support bubble

Petition Details

For learners living in Scotland or Wales they can legally practise driving with members of their household or support bubble. I would like the Government to change the law to allow learners in England to do the same.

Additional Information

The change in the law not allowing learners to practise driving with members of their household or support bubble, will have a massive negative impact on our progress and road confidence. As a learner with my test booked for March, driving with a member of my household is my only means to practice and build up my confidence on the road.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for the same action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/559063

Under current Government guidance, you can practise driving with members of your household or support bubble. It must be travel for work, education or other essential journeys: www.gov.uk/driving-lessons-learning-to-drive/practising-with-family-or-friends
