It’s amazing the material I come across while browsing the newspapers.

A report has shown this week that more than 600 motorists have had their licences revoked for failing eye tests at the roadside since 2013, when Cassie’s Law was introduced.

Some 609 drivers had their licence revoked more quickly than they would have before the law came into force.

Under the new procedure, police officers can request an urgent revocation of the licence through the DVLA if they believe other road users would be at risk.

Driving on our roads these days is becoming quite a hazard and safe driving, as my regular readers will know, is something I am passionate about.

Surely, if your eyesight isn’t that good and you are aware that you can’t see very well, you wouldn’t get behind the wheel of a machine that could travel in excess of 70mph anyway…..would you?
