The UK has implemented mandatory roadside eyesight checks to improve road safety and penalize poor vision.

The UK has launched mandatory roadside eyesight checks as part of the National Police Chief's Council's Operation Dark Night campaign, aimed at enhancing road safety. Conducted under the 'Is your vision roadworthy?' initiative, these checks require drivers to read a number plate from 20 meters in daylight. Failing the test could result in fines up to £1,000, penalty points, or disqualification, emphasizing the need for regular eye tests, especially for older drivers.
