Too thin to drive: German court backs licence ban

Too thin to drive: German court backs licence ban July 27 2003



A German court has ruled that police were right to confiscate the driving licence of a woman they thought was too thin to drive.

The 22-year-old student from Buxtehude near Hamburg lost her driving licence following an accident in February 2002 when she weighed 32.8 kilograms.

She successfully went to court to get her licence back in November and then sued local authorities for damages.

But in a decision with implications for other anorexia sufferers, the court at Stade near Hamburg said authorities were right at the time to confiscate the licence following several medical checks.

It ruled the woman, who now weighs 46 kilograms, will have to present a medical certificate every three months to show her continued fitness to drive. The woman's lawyer is to appeal.

Date: 7/28/2003 2:23:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53689    32.8 kilograms = about 72 pounds  
Date: 7/28/2003 2:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 60018    Lol ok thanks Yea that's really really small but I don't see why she wouldn't be able to drive!  
Date: 7/28/2003 2:35:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53689    Most anorexics that are that small tend not to have much strength either..I'm guessing they are worried about her being able to control the car.  
Date: 7/28/2003 3:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 13119    I agree with it 1000%, she is not only risking her life but the lives of others. What happens if all her organs start to shut down while she is driving, what if she has a heart attack and loses control. She has a disease that makes it harder to do things that we take for granted, she cannot be expected to be able to react as quickly as someone who has no illness or disease. Epileptics don't always get their licences because of what may happen, I say its the same thing for an anorexic.

Date: 7/28/2003 3:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 57028    It's all in the interest of health... although it's unfortunate people suffer from those types of eating disorders  
Date: 7/28/2003 9:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 61894    I totally agree with the judgement. For the safety of others. - CanuckBeast
