Petition Reduce the time cancer patients have to wait to get their driving license back
When diagnosed with seizures an individual loses their license for given periods of time as their condition affects their consciousness. Many brain tumour patients exhibit no symptoms that would impair their ability to drive.
More details
2 years is the mandatory minimum wait to drive after a fast growing tumour diagnosis. This is punishment for getting sick which is simply not right. Many other conditions could affect ones ability to drive if there was complications but these go untouched. I propose a test is introduced that if passed would allow an individual to get their license back sooner. Stop punishing cancer victims and give a fair and reasonable consideration. Blanket bas are outdated and archaic.
