Re-start driving tests (including HGV & C1 required for ambulance drivers)
I would like the government to re-start all HGV driving tests (including theory tests), prioritising the ones that have been cancelled since the start of the latest ‘lockdown’. This includes the C1 category test required to drive most ambulances. I feel like they could be done in a controlled manner
I’m unsure how they plan to get new drivers into sectors like food delivery or delivery of any goods for that matter, whilst a lot more people are shopping online and so only increasing the demand for these services. That’s not to mention the requirement of a category C1 license in order to drive an emergency ambulance. All of these ‘essential’ places which have managed to remain open (with similar safety challenges) will eventually need more drivers including hospitals, if only to cover sick.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want certain driving tests to restart, but it's not clear if you want all driving tests to restart, or just HGV driving tests.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
