Vision Express gets behind DVLA sight campaign

Vision Express has welcomed the DVLA’s campaign to educate UK drivers on the importance of sight.

The multiple has been raising awareness of regular sight tests for drivers since 2015’s Road Safety Week and highlights the correlation between poor vision and motoring-related accidents through the campaign Eye Tests Save Lives.

As part of its new campaign the DVLA is urging drivers to do a self-check for their vision by reading a number plate from 20 metres away, a legal requirement in driving tests. This is due to reports estimating that five million drivers would fail this element of the test if they had to take it again.
