THE EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES OF DYSLEXIC AND DYSGRAPHIC PERSONS TO PARTICIPATE AS CANDIDATES FOR THE DRIVING LICENSE EXAMINATION

Abstract

Concerning the equal opportunities of dyslexic and/or dysgraphic persons to participate as candidates for the driving license examination, we mention that, besides the law that regulates it, it is circumscribed to the principle of equality enshrined by Article 16 of the Romanian Constitution. According to this article, equality is manifested before the law and the public authorities, without privileges and without discrimination.

Along the same lines, Article 1 paragraph (2) of the Ordinance no.137 / 2000 on the prevention and sanctioning of all forms of discrimination, republished, establishes that the principle of equality between citizens and the exclusion of privileges and discrimination are guaranteed especially in the exercise of several rights, including the exercise of the right of access to all places and services intended for public use, as well as the right to work and the free choice of occupation. Or, it is known that obtaining a driving license is often a mandatory requirement for a job.

In the present study, we will try to put forward arguments for the necessity of amending the Romanian legislation regarding the recognition of equal opportunities for dyslexic persons to participate in the examination for obtaining a driving license.
