I wonder why plod doesn't ask all stopped drivers to submit to a quick eyesight test along the lines of that administered by driving examiners. ( read the number on their car, etc.)
If you fail the test, your license is automatically revoked until such time as you are able to pass it. A simple statement by a registered optician etc should be enough to then get renewable 3 year license. And ensure that once defective eyesight has been discovered it is reviewed regularly. As people are advised to get thier sight checked annually etc. it should be a simple procedure to issue such a declaration.
