I had an interesting discussion with my doctor regarding "suitability to hold licence" - and the practice had a check list that they filled out and totalled up the points, and I came up as high risk.
I challenged this, and he showed my the check list (top marks they were being consistent to all), basically I gained to many points becuase I was 1) a male 2) Single 3) had speeding offences - this tipped me to high risk. Thank goodness I hadnt been in for a consultation on depression.
He did at least accept my reasoning and accept they needed to look at the process, but - I mean WTF - it took me to point this out, that half the population were being penalised. I was a little offended that I and half the poulation were being stereotyped in this way.
