/// Motorists caught driving with ‘porthole vision’ can face a fine of up to £60 and three penalty points, according to the AA. ///

/// Porthole vision refers to drivers leaving a gap big enough to see out of but not the whole windscreen. ///

Unlike the rest of your 'fanclub', AOG, I must admit I've never worn a burqa while driving. Nor even a paper bag with a slit cut in it.
Common sense would, however, suggest it must be extremely limiting to a driver's peripheral vision so I can see where you're coming from. (Unlike others, ;))

[THECORBYLOON]

As the distance between eyes and the hole increases, the field of vision decreases. The slit is smaller than the porthole but the shapes and the distances are different.

PLEASE TRY THE PAPER SUGGESTION!!!!

AOG, can you provide a link showing a bus driver wearing a Burka?

/// Two of us have suggested using a bit paper with a slit cut out of it. Have you tried it? ///

Yes and I have just been pulled over for driving with impaired vision. Thank you very much.

[Zacs-Master]

LOL. AOG has a SOH.

[THECORBYLOON]

Seriously, try it out.

I notice the Canadian one has the sex down as M.

[THECORBYLOON]

The Canadian one is fake which is why it has an "M" see the same licence different photo here, https://www.narcity.com/ca/on/toronto/lifestyle/11-ontario-licences-you-didnt-know-you-could-get

What have the New Jersey laws got to do with us anyway?

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think it matters what anything has to do with anything, the whole thread is off kilter.

With regard to racing drivers . . . they do not have to keep to one side of the road nor, (usually), have to deal with traffic travelling towards them from the opposite direction.


Probably explains Vettel's inability to see someone coming up on the other side in Singapore and the ensuing demolition derby.

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, the New Jersey licence also appears to be a fake. The same photo is used on a Croatian licence for someone of the same name. The signatures look exactly the same, as if the same pen had been used which is not likely.

It seems the image is a mock up and some folk have been fooled by it.

[fiction-factory]

Many of have us have probably felt embarrassed at some point for printing nonsense, AOG.

[andy-hughes]

AOG - I feel you have attempted to make a point about restricted vision - but as has been pointed out by several posters, your point is invalid.

I would love to give you the benefit of the doubt, and say that thinking about burka-wearing drivers is the first thing that I, or anyone else thought of, when reading the piece, but honestly - it wasn't.

It's just you. Again.
