Closed Introduce a form for an optician to check vision at license reissue for over 70

Closed on

The current system means that at 70 and at regular intervals afterwards, drivers are simply required to state whether they can see at the required distance without any need to get vision checked . As an optician I know people ignore advice regularly . A 3 year old girl died recently due to this.
