answer text <p>The table below shows the number of Group 1 (car/motorcycle) and Group 2 (bus/lorry) driving licences that have been revoked or applications for a driving licence refused, for poor vision in each year since 2010. Some of these may have been based on a driver’s own declaration regarding the standard of their vision.</p><p> </p><p>Some Group 2 drivers may have been revoked or refused entitlement to drive both Group 1 and Group 2 vehicles. Therefore, there may be some duplication in the figures. Also, the medical standards for driving Group 2 vehicles are more stringent than those for Group 1. This means that some drivers will have been refused entitlement to drive Group 2 vehicles, but retained their Group 1 entitlement.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Group 1 Drivers</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Group 2 Drivers</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>4,711</p></td><td><p>440</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>5,064</p></td><td><p>620</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>6,960</p></td><td><p>893</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>8,343</p></td><td><p>2,113</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>9,074</p></td><td><p>1,306</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>9,050</p></td><td><p>1,133</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>9,092</p></td><td><p>1,298</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>8,192</p></td><td><p>1,192</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p>

They are designed to give the key actions and failures that led directly to the actual impact to aid investigation of how accidents might be prevented. When police officers attend the scene of an accident, they are able to select up to six factors they believe contributed to the accident (for each vehicle and casualty involved). Please note that this does not assign blame for the accident to any specific road user, but gives an indication of which factors the attending officer thought contributed to the accident. Officers do not need to carry out a full investigation of the incident before allocating CFs; they usually use professional judgement about what they can see at the scene.</p>

answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) deals with around 700,000 medical cases each year. The length of time taken to deal with an application depends on the medical condition and whether further information is required from medical professionals. In the last financial year, on average it took 37 working days to make a licensing decision. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) aims to complete 90% of medical cases within 90 working days.</p> more like this
