I have been fighting DVLA since Aptil when they revoked my licence as a result of a police report that I was unfit to drive. At the time I saw the policeman I was sat in a parked car and he admitted he nhad not seen the car in motion. I failed the field test on the day I took it because of lowish blood sugar (5.1) and i have been battling ever since. They accused me of having glaucoma, eye consultant wrote to say ii didnt, they then decided i had progressive retinopathy, they seem desparate to get thet word progressive into all their diagnosis, 3 separate health care professionals have provided me with written confirmation that I have stable retinopathy since 2007, been waiting since August for their reaction to that. However digging on line I have found a European workimng party report New Standards for the visual functions of drivers dated Brussels May 2005 that on page 11 of 35 states that the Esterman test must never be used to establish a field measurement for driving What test do the DVLA insist on using? The Esterman test, probably because its cheap.
