25% of drivers fail eye exam
ONE in four drivers surveyed at this year's Royal Highland Show would have failed a routine eye test.
The survey of 160 drivers was carried out by Specsavers opticians as they left the show.
Shirley-Ann Kennedy, chair of Specsavers in Scotland, said: "Many drivers still don't realise that if they can't read a number plate from a distance of 20.5 metres or five car lengths in good light, they are committing an offence which may invalidate their car insurance."
