Transport department workers assessing vision-impaired drivers for licences do not have adequate guidelines to determine who is unfit to drive, an inquest into the death of a South Australian grandfather has heard.
The South Australian Coroners Court is examining the death of Quorn man Robert Hall, who was riding his mountain bike on the side of the Horrocks Highway when he was struck from behind by a four-wheel drive in 2018.
The driver, John Charles Robertson, had permanent eyesight loss due to a stroke but had been given his licence back, despite having a severely restricted field of vision.
