I feel that it's the more simpler things that are causing the most carnage out there.mainly people not wearing their glasses or just having poor eyesight.


I read recently that police will be starting to do spot checks & doing the read the number plate test, again a bit big brother but perhaps the message will get through.

Hearing tests are been introduced for professional drivers as HGV and PSV and will be a matter of time for it to roll out to the general public. There should be regular medical examinations for all drivers as in every 5 years or make it 10 as there is a requirement now to update your photo on the licence. The medical is required in my opinion for those who have a progressive loss of senses as those who are born with such sensory impairment have adapted and learnt how to cope with their ability/disability or had appropriate training.
