- The government proposes that drivers renewing their licenses at age 70 must provide a recent eye test result.
- Research indicates 60% of optometrists encountered patients driving illegally due to poor vision.
- Discussions include expanding tests to assess reaction times and peripheral vision alongside eyesight.
- Currently, seniors self-declare fitness to drive, but changes will undergo public consultation.
