Tell us: how do you feel about plans to introduce mandatory eye tests for older drivers in the UK?

silverguide.site –

Older drivers could face mandatory eye tests and the drink-drive limit could be cut as the government tries to reduce the number of road deaths.

The proposals, expected to be published as part of a road safety strategy in the autumn, could introduce a new requirement for over-70s to take an eye test every three years when they renew their driving licence.

The expected changes come amid concern about the number of people being killed or seriously injured on Britain’s roads. Last year, 1,633 people were killed and almost 28,000 seriously injured in traffic incidents.

We’d like to hear from older drivers about how they feel about taking a mandatory eye test to keep their licence.
