Do not introduce 6 month rule before learner drivers can take a test
Do not introduce rule that new drivers must wait 6 months before taking a test. There is a standard set by the government to pass a test. If it's passed by a new driver, it should be accepted as by the standards. Crash courses should be allowed.
New young drivers can have a difficult world to enter, leaving home, renting and the difficult task of saving for a home and on often low wages. To drain them for a further 6 months of their hard earned money isn't right. How are they expected to get to work? This proposal could cause desperate youngsters to drive illegally or fall out of work.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
