<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driving licences that have been revoked or applications for a driving licence refused,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drivers may have been revoked or refused entitlement to drive both Group 1 and Group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
