A national road safety campaign is highlighting motorists’ legal obligation to ensure their vision is roadworthy every time they get behind the wheel.
As part of the Is Your Vision Roadworthy? initiative, police forces across the UK will conduct roadside vision screening and share important information about how motorists can keep their vision clear in all light conditions during a two-week period commencing 27 October.
Now British Summer Time has ended, and the nights begin to draw in, more drivers will find themselves on the road after dark.
This is a time when motorists may begin to notice problems with their eyesight as low light levels enlarge the pupil and accentuate any focusing errors – no matter how minor – causing blur.
Trouble focusing or being dazzled by glare from oncoming headlights when driving at night can indicate that your vision is falling below the minimum eyesight standards.
