Seeing the Risk: Why Eyesight Matters for Driver Safety
In April 2025 HM Senior Coroner Dr James Adeley issued a Prevention of Future Deaths notice to the Transport Secretary following inquests into 4 fatalities from 3 collisions where defective eyesight was the main factor.
Research shows that over 720,000 drivers nationally would fail a roadside eyesight test. Under legislation known as Cassie’s Law, drivers who fail a roadside number plate test could have their licence revoked on the spot. For managers, this highlights a significant driver safety risk as well as a service delivery risk. Clear vision is fundamental to safe driving, yet eyesight risks are often overlooked. This discussion will explore the real-world consequences of poor vision, the responsibilities of employers and drivers, and what organisations can do to reduce risk before incidents occur.
