"To be honest he is gutted by what has happened. We are both hoping an optician can put an extra thickness into his glasses," he said.

FFS why not just admit it, you can't see well enough. I hope the optician tells them to p*ss off.

Taken from DVLA website

The distance requirement for the old-style number plate is 20.5 metres. The distance requirement for the eyesight test with the new-style number plate is 20 metres. New-style number plates were introduced on 1 September 2001 and are easily identifiable because they start with two letters ie AB51 ABC.

Whilst I do feel sorry for him - we all love our vehicles - I can't help but think "TFFT - one less to worry about"......
