There is, IIRC, a minimum sight requirement albeit with corrective specs allowed.

That's for shortsightedness (long vision), there's no test (as far as I know) for close vision.

I think there is. I'm long sighted and last time I had my eyes checked the optician said I was pretty close to needing glasses for driving. But I agree - it's not obvious why.

Who in their right mind would live in the concrete sh1thole that is Basingstoke?

The basic requirement is to be able to read a plate at 75ft. However visual impairment is notifiable (as is any other conditions that MAY affect your ability to drive). Currently going through the medical reports due to a neurological condition which may result in restrictions or withdrawl of licence. There are more stringent requirements for newer driver on PSVs etc.

Suspended term for blind driver

A blind man convicted of dangerous driving, after police spotted his car on the wrong side of the road, has been given a suspended jail sentence.

Omed Aziz, 31, from Darlaston, West Midlands, who was being directed by an allegedly banned driver, was given 12 weeks in prison suspended for a year.

He has also been banned from driving for three years and ordered to take an extended driving test.

Magistrates heard he reached up to 35mph (56km/h) in a built-up area.
Aziz, who lost his eyes in a bomb blast in Iraq, was driving through Oldbury on 23 April.

He was arrested along with a 21-year-old Iraqi at about 2300 BST, after police followed their car along Oldbury Ringway and into West Bromwich Street, the court was told.

Iraq-born Aziz, from Birmingham Street, Darlaston, denied dangerous driving but had pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to driving with no MOT, no licence and no insurance.

Magistrates were required by law to order Aziz to take an extended driving test, if he ever decides to apply for a driving licence.

The defendant, who has just three fingers on his right hand and suffers from leg tremors and is partially deaf, receives £520-a-month in incapacity benefit.

He was also ordered to pay £364 in prosecution costs.

I know this has been mentioned before, but something is not quite right here...


Oh, I know: he came over from Iraq and went straight onto £540/month disposable income plus a free paid-for house, car and council tax.
