Driving Licence Rip-offs

[Hawkeye]

Went to the AA. They are ademant that you need to either pass the eye test or have a current cert. (jobs worth syndome). Therefore around $40each time I need to take an eye test prior to the licence. 4 licence = around $240 + 4 eye tests around $160 = $400 in 15 months. Add to that WOF and insurance. Not cheap for your first couple of years riding.....

I secretly hold one eye closed at a time in the eye test... I can read the damn thing then.

The eye tests are stupid, they should just change it so you can to the eye test with the eye of your choice. But then again they aren't eye specialists and if your eyes aren't 'perfect' they need the word of a specialist.

when I did my last test I closed one eye - it was much easier to read. Then I swapped eyes and it was two completely different lists of letters. How the hell are you supposed to read a list with binocular vision when each eye is looking at a different list?
