Eyesight test
Clarity of vision is very important for driving.
You may have to pass an eyesight test before obtaining a driver licence.
If you need to wear glasses or contact lenses when driving, take them with you to the test.
Your licence will show an 'S' licence code indicating that you must wear corrective lenses when driving.
