Is Your Vision Roadworthy?

ODN Is Your Vision Roadworthy? Rectangle

As we age our sight can deteriorate, often without us being aware of it. We are therefore working with Eye Health UK and the National Police Chiefs Council over the next two weeks to help raise awareness of the importance of having good vision for driving. More than 90% of information a driver uses is visual so ensuring your eyesight is up to scratch is crucial.

Please therefore get your eyes tested every 2 years & wear eyewear prescribed for driving EVERY time you get behind the wheel.

With the clocks having gone back means fewer daylight hours over the coming months. so Please make sure your eyesight meets the minimum standards for driving.

The below video really empathies why this is so important. You MOT your car every year, so why not MOT your sight regularly for driving.
