Recommendations
I recommended that when doctors are advising patients who drive for a living they should decide if they are fit to drive for a living, not on the type of vehicle they drive or type of licence held by the patient.
In my view the DVLA should give further consideration to the distinctions currently used ie group entitlement and focus on the distinction of whether someone who drives on a full-time basis and drives for their living.
