I am considered disabled by the VA due to chemical exposure..  I have both legs, both arms, and can walk.  But  sometimes have a balance problem.  Been driving a car in Thailand 10+ years .

 

Failed the motorbike riding test twice.  Problem is keeping the bike balanced.  I asked the licence office about qualifying as disabled and she quickly said no wthout giving me the chance to explain.  She said I did not look disabled.

 

Anyon̈e know the disability qualifications and if not being able to maintain balance is one of them?

 

 

 

A letter from your doctor may be necessary.

I hope you never get a bike license for your safety and for the safety of others. 

How old are you? So you suffer from a balance disorder! I recommend you stop driving yourself! For the price of a motorcycle conversion, you could hire a motorcycle taxi for years.

What kind of bike? Location?

VA. If you mean the USA Department of Veterans Affairs then please say so.

 

"Anyon̈e know the disability qualifications..."  I guess you mean decided by / published by the US DVA. 

 

Other countries also have similar agencies. In at least one case also called the DVA (Australian Department of Veterans Affairs, highly professional and they do have very detailed descriptions / tests / assessment methods to determine if there is a disability caused by actions in a recognized war zone and the aligned difficulties etc., and the level of disability.

So it is a Honda Grom but where?

 

I don't know if there are stabilizers available for a Grom. Some scooter yes; they bolt to the grab handle bolts.

 

Do not laugh; why not put a sidecar on a motorbike? That would be safer than riding a solo motorbike.

I have had a hip replacement and do not enjoy riding a solo bike, so I fitted a sidecar a few years ago, now, no problems.

 

But, can you get a DL in Thailand by riding a motorbike and sidecar for the test? I have my doubts.
