Not an impressive article. Firstly, a factual mistake: distance is 20 metres, not yards. Secondly, no distinction is made between poor visual acuity at night and other issues such as sensitivity to bright light, slowness to adapt to light changes etc. Finally they admit they don't know what the new rules might be.Mussels wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 12:44 pm Someone wants to put spin on that saying a meaningless number is staggering. Nothing about why they have trouble.“A staggering 17 million drivers in the UK admit to having trouble seeing in the dark, which could be a huge problem if this new eyesight test is introduced. We expect they could also take a toll on the number of eligible elderly drivers, who are more likely to have eye conditions and fading night vision.
The implication, though, from reference to the lighting level in which the current test is conducted - 'good daylight' - is that it'll be about visual acuity in poorer light. Speaking personally, I'd have no problem passing that, but still struggle to drive in the dark.
