A warning has been sent out to drivers who wear glasses to help them avoid hefty fines and stay safe on the roads.
People who are short-sighted need to wear glasses when driving to get a clear view of the road. According to the DVLA, drivers "must wear glasses or contact lenses every time they drive if they need them to meet the 'standards of vision for driving'”.
Those who flout the rules could end up with a fine of up to £1,000 and three penalty points. According to the Express, motorists may also be at risk of invalidating their car insurance policy if they require prescription glasses and are not wearing them at the time of an incident which is later deemed their fault.
