The man, aged 58, suffers from multiple sclerosis, diagnosed ten years ago. This summer, the administration asked him to undergo a medical check-up in order to keep his driving license, according to information from West France.
Checks were in progress for this resident of Saint-Symphorien until the prefecture of the Deux-Sèvres department suspended his license.
“I feel brutalized and despised,” explains the resident of Deux-Sèvres
The man received a letter from the prefecture in mid-August. “I am told that I must pass a medical check within a month to be able to continue driving,” he explains to our colleagues at Ouest-France. During an appointment with his neurologist a few weeks later, he learned that he would have to be hospitalized for a total of six weeks. The man will be able to benefit from care adapted to his illness.
But a few days before his hospitalization, he received a second letter asking him “to return the original of his driving license within one month” or to contest the suspension of his driving license. It was a “massive blow” for the fifty-year-old who had increased the number of administrative procedures, without a positive response. He explains feeling “brutalized” and “despised”, even though he had obtained authorization from neuropsychologists to drive an automatic vehicle.
