A recent survey found that 72% of drivers are in favor of introducing a compulsory new rule requiring older drivers to undergo regular vision tests. Additionally, 60% support mandatory vision checks every three years for this group.
The proposed measure aims to enhance road safety by ensuring that older drivers maintain adequate eyesight. This comes amid concerns about the potential risks associated with declining vision in aging drivers.
**Why this matters**
Regular vision assessments can help identify impairments that may affect driving ability, potentially reducing accidents caused by poor eyesight. Implementing such checks could improve safety for all road users, particularly as the population ages.
