Gay driver forced to resit driving test
An Italian motorist who was forced to resit his driving test because he is homosexual has been awarded 100,000 Euros (£80,000) in damages for sexual discrimination.
Danilo Giuffrida, 26, told doctors he was gay at his medical examination for military service in Italy and they passed the information to the transport ministry.
He was then ordered to retake his test or have his licence withdrawn due to his "sexual identity disturbance."
Although Mr Giuffrida agreed to resit his exam and passed for a second time, the ministry renewed his licence for just one year rather than the usual 10 years because of his homosexuality.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
