Questions Learners Have About Eyesight & Legal Duties

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Eyesight & Legal Duties, including how questions match the official theory exam in Great Britain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are the minimum eyesight requirements for driving in Great Britain?

You MUST be able to read a vehicle number plate, in good daylight, from a distance of 20 metres (or 20.5 metres for old style plates). If you need glasses or contact lenses to do this, you MUST wear them at all times while driving, as stated in Highway Code Rule 92.

Which medical conditions must I report to the DVLA?

You must inform the DVLA if you develop a medical condition or disability that could affect your ability to drive safely, or if an existing condition worsens. A comprehensive list of notifiable conditions is available on GOV.UK, and it's your legal responsibility to check if your condition applies.

Can the police conduct an eyesight test on me at the roadside?

Yes, the police have the legal power to require a driver to undertake an eyesight test at the roadside. If you fail, your licence can be immediately revoked, as per Highway Code Rule 92.

What are the legal responsibilities of a provisional licence holder in Great Britain?

As a provisional licence holder, you must be accompanied by a qualified driver (over 21 and held a full licence for 3 years), display L-plates on your vehicle, ensure the vehicle is insured for you, and meet all minimum eyesight requirements. You are legally accountable for adhering to these rules.

What should I do if my medication makes me feel drowsy while driving?

If your medication causes drowsiness, you MUST NOT drive. It is your legal and moral responsibility to assess your fitness before every journey. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about alternative medications or avoid driving until the effects wear off. Driving while impaired by medication is illegal and dangerous.
