Petition Action

Allow people with monocular vision to hold a Group 2 category licence. C, C+E.

Petition Details

I would love to be a lorry driver but I can't because I am barred by law from holding a Group 2 category. This includes categories C, C+E, D, D+E etc.

Additional Information

I have perfectly good vision and field of view for the loss of my one eye, I have even passed my IAM advanced test for both car and motorbike.
I think this is discrimination, because if I am able to pass my theory test, practical and medical I should be able to hold a Group 2 category.

I lost my right eye when I was two years old, I know no different and am a competent driver and educated in road safety.
Unfortunately I can't pursue my dream because I am barred by law.
