the examiners could meet candidates outside. wash hands after every test drive with windows open, wear gloves only need to touch door handle god they wrap those examines in cotton wool. I suppose they still get paid. what are they doing when not working, self isolating.

I have never considered a driving examiner a key worker, however as a Civil Servant they probably are.

As a result they could well be expected to turn up and do a completely different job to support other civil service departments that are going to find themselves extremely busy for the next few weeks. HMRC and DWP being two which immediately spring to mind.

Local Council staff will be in the same position with non essential staff being called on to assist delivery of frontline services.

Any driving instructor would be doubled over with mirth imagining a driving examiner working temporarily for HMRC or the DWP.

"Your tax assessment has amassed 5 major faults, I an sorry to tell you that you have failed your tax assessment test today, would you like me to recap on the main points of your test and the reasons for your failure?"
