联合王国提议对70岁以上的驾驶员进行强制性眼科测试,以加强道路安全。 UK proposes mandatory eye tests for drivers over 70 to boost road safety.

正在敦促70岁以上的联合王国驾驶员在可能的新规则要求老年驾驶员必须进行眼科检查之前进行例行眼科检查。 UK drivers over 70 are being urged to get routine eye tests ahead of possible new rules requiring mandatory eye exams for older motorists. 政府道路安全战略旨在通过捕捉与年龄有关的视力下降 — — 比如白内障或青光眼 — — 来改善安全性,这可能会影响深度感知、周边视力和在没有驾驶员注意的情况下签名阅读。 The government’s Road Safety Strategy aims to improve safety by catching age-related vision decline—like cataracts or glaucoma—early, which can affect depth perception, peripheral vision, and sign reading without the driver noticing. 虽然目前不需要例行检查,但驾驶员若不适合驾驶,必须自行报告。 While no routine checks are currently required, drivers must self-report if unfit to drive. 关于该提案的公开协商于3月底结束,接受调查的联合王国驾驶员中有88%的人支持对70岁以上者进行强制性测试。 A public consultation on the proposal ends in late March, with 88% of UK drivers surveyed supporting mandatory tests for over-70s. 有些问题,包括联合王国的年龄问题,只关注这一年龄组,指出眼睛问题可能在任何年龄发生,但专家强调,清晰的眼光对于所有年龄的安全驾驶至关重要。 Some, including Age UK, question focusing only on this age group, noting eye issues can occur at any age, but experts stress clear vision is vital for safe driving at all ages. 定期考试可能有助于防止今后的驾驶限制。 Regular exams could help prevent future driving restrictions.
