Re-Think! Can You See?

A recent DVLA survey is urging UK drivers to test their eyesight. You might not be aware of the minimum standards needed for a licence.

You must be able to read a number plate from 20m away! Can you? Use our free eye test stimulator.

If you are a learner driver you have to pass the eye test as part of the practical exam, and then legally you have to ensure your eyesight is good enough.
