Yeah, what's wrong is that you don't go to an optometrist and get glasses or 
contacts. The eye test is not particularly grueling, let's be serious. I 
guarantee that the "SOB" is a state bureaucrat who consulted about 1,000 
experts. It's fine to vent, but don't delude yourself.

"What difference does it make," you ask? It's hard enough to drive a 
motorcycle safely, let alone when your vision is impaired.

As for the other driver, the system is imperfect--yes. Perhaps he had a good 
lawyer, or his judge was too lenient. In any case, you're making a false 
correlation here. His poor driving has no bearing on your poor eyesight.

Take care of yourself.
