If an applicant answered the question "Can you meet the legal
eyesight standards for driving using glasses or corrective lenses
if needed?" with a "No", would the provisional licence be granted?


If a provisional licence is issued on wrong information, the
applicant would not be able to complete the driving test.


If he has been banned from driving in (say) Australia or Iraq, how
will that physically prevent him from taking, and even passing, a UK
test?


I was replying to the matter of eyesight.


That's easy. Just send a ringer along to take the test. Remember: the
test procedure relies upon the honesty of the applicant.


I understand they have become wise to this. But we are still only at the
identity stage, just like every other dealing.

The requirements (for a person correctly identified) to get a driving
licence remain unique.

In any true/false procedure a false means that subsequent tests
don't need to be done. Letters need to be sent out either way so
it's difficult to see where cost is added.


You are assuming honest answers to questions where a truthful answer
will mean refusal.


Obviously. Cost comes from letting dishonesty succeed, not from
turning an application down. A doctor's note (barring the doctor also
being dishonest) would make it more difficult for the applicant to be
dishonest.


A doctor's note saying what?

That the patient is fit and well?


Whatever is done for commercial drivers.
