        @BBCBreaking can they do that? I thought anyone could bring a private case, unless they were a vexatious litigant

        @BBCBreaking So from now on no-one has to disclose medical conditions to DVLA as they will not be charged if an accident occurs. Shocking.

        @williamc72 not saying that should not be addressed and he should be prosecuted in some way. But these conspiracy theories are nonsense.
