Revision question · Band 3 driving test, disabilities, law

A Group 1 car-test candidate has complete loss of sight in one eye, meets the required acuity and visual-field standards and has adapted successfully. If they pass, what extra licence restriction follows solely from the monocular vision?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

The licence will be restricted to vehicles with engines of less than 1500 cc

No extra licence restriction follows solely from the monocular vision

The licence will be restricted to adapted vehicles only

The licence will be restricted to daytime driving only

No extra licence restriction follows solely from the monocular visionThis was the right answer

Monocular vision does not by itself create one of the listed Group 1 licence restrictions when the driver meets the required acuity and visual-field standards and has clinical advice confirming successful adaptation. DVLA, not the examiner, decides medical licensing, and Group 2 bus and lorry standards are different.
