Drivers over 70 to undergo eye tests every three years

What happened: The UK government will require drivers aged over 70 to have eye tests every three years as part of a new road safety strategy. This measure aims to update driving laws in Britain.

Why it matters:

  • Improves road safety by ensuring older drivers meet vision standards.
  • Affects all UK drivers aged over 70 who must comply with the new testing requirement.

MNN Take: Regular eye tests for older drivers help identify vision issues that could impair driving ability, supporting safer roads for everyone.
