Drivers over the age of 70 will have to have their vision checked every three years, under plans to reform driving laws in Britain.
The changes are part of the government’s new road safety strategy, which will be published on Wednesday.
Other proposed measures include lowering the drink-driving limit in England to match the limit in Scotland, and giving penalty points for not wearing seatbelts.
These measures were first reported in August and are expected to be confirmed in this week’s strategy.
