Over 70s to face driving ban...

if they fail mandatory eye tests.

What's your opinion?
Is 70 too "young", or about right?
Would 75 be a better compromise?
Currently there is no legal age at which you must surrender your driving licence.
Both my father and FIL voluntarily gave up their licences just before they turned 80. My mum at 76, and MIL is still driving at 78, though only very locally.

(Also in the same article, drink driving limits are under discussion to be lowered, in line with Scotland's laws. This one I fully agree with)

You can also drive with sight in just one eye.

That's not correct. I can read three lines with my good eye corrected. I have been told by my consultant that I would never be able to drive

It's actually 5 lines minimum. No idea where you got 2 lines from

TigerRag, it’s what my optician told me when I told him about the trouble I had reading the signs when I told him I don’t drive because it doesn’t feel safe.
