Reading this story led me to sign this petition:

Maybe you will too if you agree.

Signed that.

It's madness, he could not see, it beggers belief that he carried on.

If you are not capable of passing the test then your licience should be revoked, driving is not a right!

Signed and others encouraged to do likewise!

Me too, plus sent to all my contacts, 86 of them, Cheers Ray

Done.


I still think that there should be a maximum number of times that a potential driver is allowed to re-take failed driving tests (33 years to pass a test is a bit rediculous, either you are capable of driving or you are not), drivers should be re-tested every 10 - 15 years, and anyone who looses their licence after a ban should have to re-take their test (youve been a bad driver, so you have spent x years off the road and your driving abilities have miraculously improved with out being behind the wheel or being coached in any way????).


Just my humble opinion.

A friend of mine is a good competent driver in my opinion and I sat in with him going quite a few places but he could not pass the driving test and has now abandoned hope as he is nearly 70. The law should be able to take the vehicle away as well as the license if someone is obviously not going to acknowledge that they are incapable of driving safely.
