Rejected petition Driving licence holders to be retested for theory and eyesight every 10 years

With UK roads getting busier and the number of accidents being so high, action needs to be taken to ensure that the drivers understand their responsibilities, and have suitable eyesight to ensure they can react as early as possible to hazards.
