Calls for theory test extension backed
I HAD seven driving tests cancelled and my theory ran out on March 18, so looks like I’m going to have to sit the test again through no fault of my own. Aggie Scott
ONE hundred per cent they should be extended! Not our fault we couldn’t get out and take our test.

MY daughter’s runs out at the beginning of July, so considering she will only have eight weeks from when they start to allow driving lessons to commence and there is a backlog of tests, she will need to resit her theory test again.
It’s ridiculous that nothing is being done to help people that find themselves in this unfortunate position. They should be ashamed. Pound signs is all they are seeing! Gillian Milliken
NO, they shouldn’t be extended, because of the safety implications of inexperienced drivers not having proved they can put the things they’ve learned into practice in the timeframe.
They should however be entitled to a free re-test if they’ve had practical tests cancelled and refusal to do so is just money grabbing of the highest order. Ryan Murray
MY daughter has had four tests cancelled and her theory certificate has run out, they should definitely be extended.
Not to mention the amount of extra money that has been spent on refresher lessons every time her test is rebooked. I feel so sorry for everyone who has waited a year to sit their test and now face starting from scratch.

DEFINITELY should be extended and the government should help with paying for lessons.
My daughter had about 25 then nothing for a year, it’s like starting all over again, plus no theory test available... seems unfair.

IT’S near impossible to book a theory test and if there are going to be resits it’s going to make it even worse.
