Free information – road safety- All eyes ahead for drivers’ vision
Mark Raines, director of corporate and retail development for Specsavers, said: “[W]e feel the current situation regarding the testing of eyesight for both commercial and private drivers is simply not strict enough.“With increasing numbers of cars on the road, it is vital that a driver’s eyesight is good enough. The current ‘number-plate’ eyesight test was devised in the 1930s. Road conditions and the number of vehicles on the road have changed beyond all recognition since then, and new regulations regarding drivers’ sight should reflect this.”
