AOPA Petitions FAA to Ease Medical Restrictions

"Skylune" wet the bed, smoked some dope,
howled at the moon and scribbled:

From your lips to the committee's ear, hopefully. As the Destroyer (and
his acolytes) well know, there is no medical for driver's licenses, just
an eye test. Its pure self certification. How many people that show up
in the DMV for a license will volunteer that they have a medical
condition, say epilepsy, that prevents them from getting the license for
which they are applying???

In practice, the driver's license will get pulled AFTER you crash due to
an epileptic episode, for example.

If this proposal to change the rules makes it to the Federal Register, I
know many people who will comment, opposing it on the grounds of "public
interest."

I suggest that "Skyloon" abstain from driving on psychological grounds.
