He flunked the vision test. So what did that mean? A trip to the eye clinic (where he just got new glasses after 2 visits for additional testing - which is a yearly routine for him ), with a form that has to be filled out by his doctor. The doctor wouldn't fill out the form til he sees, the J-Man again. Soooooooooo, back to the eye clinic tomorrow, and then to the DMV if the doctor "clears" him.

I don't get it. If his vision is so bad (which I believe it is), that he can't pass either of the vision tests at the DMV, why in double hockey sticks, would the DMV even consider letting him get a drivers license?

I'll keep you posted.

Oh dear! Either way, it's going to be tough on you and JM!

I meant Big J, not JM! Don't know where that came from!

It's kind of a scary thought, isn't it?
Maybe it's revenue raising or some such... but if it's dangerous for him to drive, it should be a pretty simple matter.
Or at least you would think so, wouldn't you??
Sheeesh, I'm glad I'm not it your shoes today!

They let my brother get his drivers liscense and he is completely blind in one eye.

I understand your 'confusion' about the DMV letting him have a driver's license although he failed the vision test.

That is the same 'logic' that allows some of the 80 and 80 year old drivers (who cannot see over the wheel, hear themselves 'toot' or react quickly to brake) to simply mail their license renewal in each year!!!

I'm sorry for both of you ... this has to be rough for everyone. Sending hugs and prayers.
