UK proposes mandatory eye tests every 3 years for drivers over 70 to maintain road safety.
The UK government has proposed mandatory eye tests every three years for drivers over 70 to ensure they meet the legal vision standard of reading a number plate from 20 meters, as part of a broader road safety effort.
Currently, drivers must self-report vision issues but are not required to prove they meet the standard.
A survey found over 75% of respondents support universal vision checks, with nearly half favoring tests every three years, reflecting growing public demand for stronger safety measures.
While the proposal targets older drivers, the results highlight widespread backing for standardized vision screening across all age groups, though the government has not yet decided whether to expand the requirement beyond those over 70.
