Over-70s face driving ban for failing eye tests

Motorists over 70 in England and Wales could face a driving ban if they fail mandatory eye tests, as the government plans to introduce new safety measures following concerns over lax driving laws. These changes, expected in the new road safety strategy, also include stricter penalties for offenders and aligning drink-driving limits with Scotland's standards. The move seeks to improve road safety and reduce accidents caused by drivers with failing eyesight and those under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
