Change the driving theory test for dyslexics with memory recall issues.
My son is severely dyslexic and has problems recalling information.
There are currently no concessions for memory issues, this discriminates against this group of people.
"Dyslexia occurs independently of intelligence."
"Dyslexia affects the way information is processed, stored and retrieved, with problems of memory, speed of processing, time perception, organisation and sequencing"
