The UK will require mandatory eyesight tests for drivers 70 and older starting autumn 2025 to boost road safety.

The proposed tests would assess ability to read a number plate from a set distance, with failure potentially leading to licence revocation.
The move follows growing concern over vision impairment among older drivers and 87% public support for such measures.
The plan is part of broader safety reforms, including lower drink-driving limits and stricter seatbelt penalties.
