I'm curious about the disability part.

What if a blind man wants to be a bus driver? Where is the line here?

I'm sure the Dutch know what they're doing, I'm just curious about the wording and stuff.

Anyone "shall be treated equally in equal circumstance". Discrimitating on the basis of not being able to obtain a license is perfectly fine.

Discrimination is generally baseless mistreatment or denial of opportunities due to gender, race, ethnicity, etc. Having valid reasons to decline a job application due to the above (choosing not to hire a male model for Victoria's Secret, for example) is not discrimination. So a blind Dutchman would likely find it just as difficult to obtain a driver's license there as in the U.S.
