Trivia: Lithuania Driving Test

A recent UK Sunday newspaper ran a brief report about
a five month study the Lithuanian government has just conducted.

As a result of the study, the government has scrapped
a law that required women to take a gynaecological examination before
they could be issued a driver's licence. Government officials argued
that certain diseases in women could cause sufficient pain to hinder driving.
“This requirement made our country look more than strange” said
a health ministry spokesman.

Strange, indeed, says the Beetle, wondering what if any
examination the men have to undergo.
