What are the rules for driving when you have failing eyesight?

A coroner has called for changes to the law after four people were killed by drivers with failing eyesight, an inquest has heard.

Marie Cunningham, 79, and her 85-year-old friend Grace Foulds were crossing the road in Southport, Merseyside, when they were fatally hit by Glyn Jones, 67, in 2021.

He had been repeatedly told he was unfit to drive over a 10-year period and experts said he was "unable to see the steering wheel".

Peter Westwell, 80, was killed in Langho, near Blackburn, in 2022 by a driver who lied about his eyesight condition to the DVLA, while Anne Ferguson, 75, was fatally struck by a motorist in Rochdale who had been referred for cataract surgery in both eyes.
