I want to learn to drive but am concerned that they will take my bus pass off me. I have good and bad days so if I passed and it was a day I didn't feel well enough to drive would I still have my pass to get on the buses?

    It depends why you were given your bus pass. They're for people who are either unable to walk far (ie, the PIP mobility criteria for moving around) or those of us who have been refused a driving licence on medical grounds for reasons other than drugs or alcohol.

    If you got your disabled person's bus pass because you have been refused an application for a driving licence due to physical fitness then it could be an issue, but if you got it due to impairment then you should be ok.  You can call your local council to check.
