Bureaucracy mills to grind, and the legislation is to circumvent for a notorious idiot

It is possible they are highly experienced experts in the medical field etc. with a definite requirement for transportation.

I do agree the points tallies are overly excessive though and if they are so dependent on transport why can't they hire a driver on what they would usually have regarding a large salary?
