What next?
Motorists in South Yorkshire will face random eye tests by police in the first scheme of its kind in the region.
Officers will visit several supermarket car parks in Sheffield and Rotherham checking drivers can read a number plate at the legally required distance of 20.5m.
If they fail they will see an on-site optician, get advice from an eye expert and be spoken to by the police.
It is thought one in three drivers take to the roads without regular eye tests.
There's a way to check if you'll be OK as this nonsense is apparently being trialled and rolled out elsewhere.
I've grabbed the test from our car club site and brought it here.
When you see the image, it's one of these (image hidden in the colours type test) you should see a giraffe.
If you don't then scruch up your eyes, so you can just see through and if you can't see the giraffe then you'll need more tests.
Don't forget to scruch your eyes if you don't see it straight away.Click here
