Does it work/filter anyone?

We've recently ""implemented"" similar things but they're just BS and everyone passes - my grandad got his new license with no issue despite being 83, can't really see well and an absolute menace on the road (I don't want or like him driving, but he drives to the shops and to get my gran when she needs to go somewhere as she's also finding it more difficult to walk places).

There's the micro car back up here,no licence needed. Don't know about fail rates. They seem to be serious about it but I'd imagine that most born and bred locals might get some leeway. I just hope my licence date doesn't expire after a result like Brentford or I'd never pass the blood pressure part.

Yeah similar to here then I guess, and likely everywhere.

Going into government institutions after a result like that is dangerous to your health and to the livelihood of those around you
