Vision Requirements for Drivers
This rule is a legal requirement
Vision. You MUST be able to read a vehicle number plate, in good daylight, from a distance of 20 metres (or 20.5 metres where the old style number plate is used). If you need to wear glasses (or contact lenses) to do this, you MUST wear them at all times while driving. The police have the power to require a driver to undertake an eyesight test.
💡Example
You must be able to clearly read a car's number plate from 20 metres in daylight. For example, if you struggle to see a number plate on a parked car from this distance, you may need glasses or contact lenses and must wear them whenever you drive.
