What is your opinion of the Medical Certificate for elderly drivers?

Memory - maths and literal test. Fail to see the relevance here too. i can't read and I'm hopless at adds...

Cold here in Port Pirie, but cold and dark is worse. LED roof lights have gone inside on my 2015 Jayco Swift van and I've checked the fuses. Online I can see that some Jayco fans have a kill switch on pop ups that sometimes sticks and this could be the problem but I can't see any on my van. Any electrical wizar...
