DVLA Over 70 Eye Tests

[Sparks]

I don't have any problem walking. The only thing I need the car for is when heavy items have to be carried such as shopping, things I might purchase on a car boot sale, or taking things to the tip! The ridiculous thing about the DVLA eye test is that it seems to be rather haphazard. On being told that I had missed two dots, I was told that I could try again. I asked what would happen if I missed four dots, or more, and was told that would be sent to the DVLA as well as the first one, and may count against me, so I just left things as they are and hope I get my licence renewed. Another ridiculous thing is, that if I have failed, they haven't told me, and I can legally drive until such time as the DVLA condescend to tell me if I have failed! Missing a couple of small dots of light means absolutely nothing when driving as one does not drive as with head clamped in a vice staring straight ahead, the eyes and head must move somewhat to keep a good watch on things. Apart from anything else, as the eye department at the hospital told me my field of vision was excellent, only one week ago, I have greater faith in their machine that one in Specsavers.
