Allowing people to go out driving
Allow people who are unable to get out for exercise but can get out in their car to go out for a drive, even for an hour. They will leave their home and return within an hour and stay in their vehicle.
Why the contribution is important
Elderly and disabled people who are possibly shielding could get out and see a bit of the countryside, see how spring has arrived and all the beautiful countryside. I know personally that it is very hard for the elderly to be at home all day every day and would help their mental health to be able to get out.

I guess if you aren't able to walk for any distance it would be reasonable by exception. I'm sure the police will be understanding if that's the case, as will the general public as not being able go out for a walk must be extremely tough. Wishing you well.

And when lockdown is relaxed, I imagine older people getting back in a vehicle after 12+ weeks may be more of a risk to other road users than they would be if able to maintain regular use of the skills involved.
It is also something I'd like to do just to keep my car battery running and for my own mental healtlh and I'm not elderly, just unable to work and earn income so equally self limiting by financial concerns.
