Scully Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Isn’t it about time all the mainland UK nations started doing this regarding Covid? Have just been informed by my daughter that provisional driving instruction in England isn’t allowed, but is in Scotland and Wales. 🤷♂️ I can’t think of the logic behind this, can you?

Walker570 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Now come on Scully, these are very well paid intelligent experts making these decisions and that is why the NHS is struggling never mind driving schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsdad Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Yes it is - the British Prime minister is in charge. The Welsh and Scots need to accept that and stop points scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 We should have formed a national task force underwritten by the UK cheque book. Unfortunately vanity would not allow our UK PM to recognise his role as one of four when the four nations have devolved powers. There are so many pointers screaming from the sidelines that the current UK constitution is not it for purpose be it in the light of the pandemic, Brexit or the next issue of sovereignty. It will take a bold and wise Pm to resolve the current instability in a structured and coherent fashion for the good of UK plc. Much more likely to happen by default.

Dave at kelton Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 As soon as power was devolved by Blair we were on a downhill slope. The devolved administrations will do whatever they can to be different to Westminster, as a matter of principal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I just wondered what risk was posed by a provisional driver in England which wasn’t deemed a risk in Scotland or Wales. 🚗💨🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, you can’t in England either, and as far as I know, in Wales either, but you can have lessons with a family member from the same household in both Scotland and Wales but not England. Unless I’ve read it wrong. Sorry, for the sake of clarity, you cannot have formal driving lessons with a driving instructor in England Wales or Scotland, but you can have driving lessons with a family member from the same household in Wales and Scotland but not England. My apologies for the confusion. Edited January 10, 2021 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that there appears to be no logic behind the decision, as the risk of accident would have applied equally in all three countries I would have thought, if that is indeed the reasoning behind it?
