Blind as a bat

The past couple days I have had to spend a lot of time at our other offices, 2 of them being driver license offices. As I was working I got to see some of the people taking the eye test. It is unbelievable that some of these people are still driving. One elderly gentleman had his head on the vision tester for at least 2 or 3 minutes as the clerk repeatedly told him to read line 5, he would read line 3, read incorrectly or claim to not see anything at all. Eventually the clerk had to politely tell the gentleman that he could not drive. I was surprised how many failed the vision test, one older guy was going back and forth with the tester like he was in a virtual 3d game. I suppose he thought if he moved his body to the left and right more he could see better. Some of these people literally looked like they had one foot in the grave yet they are behind the wheel on the same roads as you and me. Crazy.
