the nodding donkey:
It is because of people like this, that we are treated as un-skilled rabble. Not only are you you admitting to having lesser eye sight than required in today’s traffic, you also proudly explain how you avoided having to undergo a legaly required medical, due to a loophole. Comparison with the Glasgow bin wagon driver are obvious.
I often wonder why some (quite a lot actually) of the drivers of the firm I work for seem to ignore my flashing head lights or hand wave on the motorway in passing, I am getting more and more the feeling that they can’t actually see across the carriage ways…
Makes you wonder how many others on here and not on here who did the same who have something a lot more serious than a bit of short sightedness in one eye to get another 4 to 5 years out of their licence, who are a greater risk than I am.

one lazy eye, other is perfect vision, my optician and DVLA have agreed that my visual condition is acceptable to hold a HGV licence without corrected vision, I’m not trying to hide anything from the DVLA, it took DVLA about 5 months to decide that I am safe enough to retain my licence using acquired rights.
I did skip the 50 medical with the photo change, but that was more to do with cost saving than hiding something, and have passed a group 2 medical within the last 3 years with my own doctor, but wasn’t for HGV.
