The ambiguity of the colour vision section of the licence application has been a problem for doctors, opticians and applicants for many years now.
Somehow the MSA, or Motorsport UK if you prefer, have made it worse.
In the pamphlet accompanying the licence application it says..
"In any event, as well as passing such tests as referred to above (Ishihara and Farnsworth), there must be no risk of any errors in the perception of the colours of flags or any light boxes"
Knowing that I never have or ever will pass an Ishihara test I phoned the MSA, to be told 'that's OK, all you need to do is pass a light box test'....apparently this can be done at Race Medics in Redhill or at the Racing Car Show in Jan, and errr, um, maybe at your local circuit, but we don't know for sure
Well, that's handy then...……does anyone have any more positive info for us unfortunate 8%?
