Rescinding of my licence by DVLA

superscotsman

Well, forgive me, Superhoop, but that's exactly what I thought the point of the thread was. If you have tunnel vision, an eye specialist will automatically inform the DVLA, and the licence will be withdrawn, that is the system. The faceless bureaucrat will be a doctor, not a clerk. If you do not like the system, then you will have to write to your MP about it. By his own admission, someone has failed an eye test. That is no stroke of the pen. It is not the fault of the civil servants involved. And it is no fault of mine.
I am afraid superhoop, you are quite wrong: you do not have a RIGHT to drive, and the onus is on you to prove your fitness to drive. That's why we have a driving test in the first instance.
While you are talking about rights, Superhoop, what about the rights of the children who are crossing the road? Don't you think they have a right NOT to be run down by people who cannot see further than the Mercedes star on the bonnet, while that motorist is waiting for his appeal to come up? Your attitude to innocent children beggars belief.
How would you like it if someone with defective vision ran YOUR child down? What comfort would the Citizens' Charter be to you then?
If you want me to say something which you regard as constructive, here is the number of the RNIB helpline:

Hi there when your licence is revoked due to health or any other penalty such as no licence. Do you have to re sit your driving test or can you apply for another driving licence?
