🧠 Why this is happening
Currently, drivers 70+ simply self‑declare that they meet the minimum vision standards when renewing a licence. Critics say this system doesn’t catch poor vision early enough and could lead to unsafe driving. The proposed change would make tests more formal and regular to reduce risks linked to eyesight decline.
📌 What hasn’t changed yet
✔️ There is no automatic ban just for being 70+ in most countries — you are not being forced off the road only because of age alone.
✔️ These changes (in the UK) are under review and subject to consultation before they become law.
