    Cool Motorists Forced Off Road After DVLA Eyesight Test Fails

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...est-fails.html

    , but it has to be said, "better safe than sorry"!

    Besides ... ... most - if not ALL - of those affected will be eligible to receive a Bus Pass ... either on account of age or disability.

    I'd be absolutely fuming if this had happened to me

    Maybe so, Simon ... but I should imagine the vast majority of the drivers to whom this applies are likely to be elderly as portrayed in the link I've supplied!

    I need glasses for driving...

    Although my optician told me I don't....

    But I know I do as I can't read road signs and see number plates from a distance without my glasses... My eyes aren't too bad but I wouldn't drive without my glasses and can tell the difference when I have them on.

    I had lazer treatment 16 years ago as I was very very short sighted, best £1500 I ever spent.... They said back then I would probably need glasses later in life for reading or driving.... So not surprised.

    I have pretty much given up driving now, as it no longer gives me any pleasure...on today's roads.

    So that's one less half-blind old duffer off the road ...and confined to the Xbox...for which I do still need my 'driving' glasses.

    There are loads of drivers on the road who should not be on the road at all, but hey its a free country for now
