@MerPolTraffic Merseyside Police really demonstrating the poor vision and driving issue which does exist for many on our roads. Get a regular eyesight test with an optician, as your sight can deteriorate often without us being aware. Please help save lives and book an appointment now

I am passionate about making sure that every driver on the road can see clearly and has a regular sight test. 90% of driving is visual. I do not want to see another unnecessary death on our roads due to poor or defection vision. The law needs to be changed https://t.co/vGwpD3JgjI
