I have not said if I passed or failed any tests. All I am saying is that this test does not involve any driving, just responding to hazards.And is this where you failed your test, hence not having a licence?

I have but it's rather stupid and I wouldn't have hoped most kids would be sensible enough not to play it. I certainly wouldn't have played it.
I know that some kids will think it's a good game to play but that doesn't change the fact that it's stupid and that kids don't have to play it.You really have absolutely no idea about human behaviour, or human nature, do you?
Unless the job is going to involve driving then it should be of no concern to the employer.I would love to watch Zoe in a job interview being asked if she could drive...
It's only going to be useful if the job is going to involve some driving.Many jobs might deem a license useful. Would you answer or say 'none of your business'?

You wouldn't take the job if you didn't have any way of getting there.However it is the concern of many companies how you will get to work as you live far away relying on public transport might not factor in with their business hours.
It's up to the employee to get to their job, not for the employer to dictate how this is done.Maybe you would if you thought public transport was acceptable.

There are disability discrimination laws though and it could be argued that requiring a driving licence is discriminating against people that can't drive due to health reasons. I also note this post by you at http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=59010&page=7In a world where there are more applicants than vacancies employers can dictate pretty much whatever they like
SS4 said:I've noticed that, employers are asking for someone with own transport where it's not strictly necessary and these are jobs in Birmingham so I can only imagine what it would be like for someone in more rural areas.
An employer shouldn't care unless it is necessary to drive during working hours (between offices etc) since getting to and from work is an employee's responsibility.
Doesn't mean that's how it should be though and I also note this post by you at http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=59010&page=7

No I am not. Clearly if the job involves driving then there would be grounds to discriminate but this is not what I was referring to. The discussion earlier in the thread was about employers asking for a driving licence even when the job is not going to involve driving.This is the funniest/silliest thing I've read in ages!
Now you're just being a forum troll.
It is not rubbish. If the job requires driving then yes a licence will be required but this is not what I was referring to.What rubbish. Of course employers are allowed to bin the applications of people who can't drive if the job requires driving. Just try getting a job with the police without a license and tell us how far you get.
I was not saying that it would be unfair to discrimate against someone that can't drive if the job is going to involve driving. If it's a driving job then it's obvious that a driving licence would be required. The issue is when the job does not involve driving but the employer still asks if the person has a driving licence or not.Surely you can see the obvious flaws in what you're saying?
What I do or do not do has nothing to do with the subject of if people should be discriminated against or not when a job does not involve driving.Zoe, can you not drive for health reasons?
