I AM GLAD TO SEE that York shire MPs are to be urged tc back moves to tighten up rule: governing drivers' eyesight. Thi.1 follows a meeting of the KirkleeE (West Yorkshire) Area Roac Safety Sub-Committee, when E Leeds optician said that twc drivers out of every 100 woulc probably fail the statutor eyesight test of reading number-plate at 25 yards.
Optician Ronald Goacher, member of the Yorkshire Optica Society, claimed that another 1 per cent might fail through wear ing the wrong glasses or not rea lining they needed glasses. H said the situation could ge worse now that driving licencewere issued until people are 7 years old. "The former three year licence sometimes acted a a reminder to people to get thei eyes checked," he added.
