MP urges all drivers to have vision checked

A politician who has played a prominent role in lobbying for drivers' vision reform stepped up her campaign once again during Road Safety Week.

Sheffield Heeley MP Meg Munn stressed that current regulations were dated and called for drivers to get themselves tested to mark the event, which took place from November 21-27. She said: 'It makes sense that drivers need good eyesight to drive safely. However, the current eyesight test was introduced 70 years ago and I believe it needs to be brought up to date.

'Road Safety Week is a good time for all drivers to consider if their eyesight would still meet the legal requirements. Getting your eyesight tested at the opticians is simple and straightforward and it could even prevent an accident.
