“The licensing system for class I drivers is the laxest in Europe for the following reasons: - The UK is only one of five European countries to use a licence plate test (see below) for visual acuity testing - The UK and is only one of three countries to rely upon self-reporting of visual conditions affecting the ability to drive - The UK is the only country to issue a driving licence without any visual check for a continuous period of time that may be as much as 53 years”
