Trending Ian McIntosh, CEO of RED Driving School said he would have liked to see lessons and tests “resume sooner”. He said: “At RED, we welcome the government’s roadmap out of lockdown and the green light for practical and theory tests to go ahead from April 12th in England. “The driving instruction industry has previously been left in the dark without crucial updates, so we’re pleased to have received some clarity regarding the easing of the current lockdown restrictions. “Having operated in a Covid-secure way since the end of England’s first lockdown last July, we would have hoped for lessons and tests to resume sooner, especially given the huge bottleneck that has accumulated as a result of the pandemic.”
