Driven to Despair - Report on DVLA medical section

SteveBarnsleytrucker:
Are they in cahoots with the DVLA making a nice little earner whilst signing off perfectly fit drivers as unfit to drive and ruining their livelihoods at the same time? :unamused:

I would prefer to go to my local Specsavers for an eyetest than slog all the way over to a hospital for the same thing. It relieves the workload at the hospital and I don’t know of any reason to underestimate the qualifications of the optometrists in the shop. If Specsavers are making a reasonable profit on the arrangement then it would seem to be winners all round.
If any optometrist anywhere says you are OK to drive and DMG continues to with hold your licence, thats where the ruination of livelihoods starts.
