Extend the theory test deadlines if tests cannot be booked.
If learner drivers can provide very they have been having regular driving lessons and they fail a test they should have the opportunity to extend the theory test date as driving tests are very hard to come by.

Background
It's so unfair that learners are unable to get 1 driving test without a 6-7 month wait let alone another if they fail, if a learner is unfortunate enough to fail the test dates just aren't there due to the theory test expiry dates. There should be exemptions for example if a test is booked just because the theory is running out. If a Learner can prove regular lessons it's so unfair on them at this
particular time.
