flag UK drivers over 70 must get eye tests every 3 years starting in 2026 to improve road safety.

flag Starting in 2026, UK drivers over 70 will face mandatory eye tests every three years as part of a new road safety strategy aimed at reducing fatalities and serious injuries. flag The move responds to data showing 24% of driver deaths in 2024 involved those aged 70 or older, and declining self-reporting of vision problems. flag The plan also lowers the drink-driving limit to 22 micrograms per 100ml of breath, introduces penalty points for unbuckled passengers, and doubles fines for uninsured drivers to £600. flag The reforms, the most significant since 2006, aim to balance safety with older drivers’ mobility.
