Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 9 November (HL2743) and in the light of the number of people killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads in 2015–16, whether they will take steps to encourage drivers whose eyesight is below the required standard to improve their vision.

The Government supports Road Safety Week (RSW) which is taking place this month. The aim of RSW is to raise awareness around road safety and promote steps that everyone can take to reduce road casualties. This year the organisers are focusing on measures including regular eye tests and wearing glasses or lenses for driving if needed.
