At the same time, since September 1, the list of diseases, in the presence of which it is forbidden to drive, has been updated.

Can’t have a shortage if theres a lada cars but no drivers.

what’s the logic in preventing autistic people as a group from driving?
what’s the logic
Will to live. Autism isn’t a joke.
Fuck you
💯
As a general idea, it makes sense, but then I read the list and…Asperger’s?
Asperger’s syndrome… is a … neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significant difficulties in … restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.
No, that’s not just introverts who try to avoid too much communication. It really sounds like a serious condition that may influence driving.
Am autistic, have had 0 accidents in the road in a decade. Anecdotal, but outside of severe autism it doesn’t cause an issue.
“Sounds like” being the key phrase.
Can I see your medical degree?
No, you can’t. Nor I can see yours. But that’s not important.
So what is important?
The arbitrary decision to remove driving licences from “undesirables” in a country whose driving standards are so poor it’s a genre of internet video?
So logical.
