Seems like people have been getting banned a lot lately and I've been trying to find out what for but his last post seems to have been deleted? But his first three didn't look like there was anything wrong so just one slip up and a poster gets banned?

It's not that, it's knowing what the odds are of passing and if anything needs to be done to help the chances.

I was told a story of one lad going for a Class 1 and returned crying as he was told he was never going to pass due to his eyesight. What they didn't tell him was that he could've then gone to the opticians, gotten tested, got glasses or contact lenses, and then return and pass the Class 1 medical. Nothing else wrong with him, just poor eyesight and being fed bad info. He could've saved himself a lot of grief and a few quid.
