Road users who require prescription glasses must wear them when driving to comply with Rule 92 of the code
A motoring expert has issued a warning to drivers, stating that they could face fines of up to £1,000 if they fail to adhere to a specific Highway Code rule. Rule 92 of the code stipulates that road users who need prescription glasses must wear them while driving.
A spokesperson for Motor Match highlighted the potential risks, saying: "A significant number of drivers may underestimate just how vital it is to wear their prescription glasses when driving. The Highway Code exists for the safety of everyone on the road and clear vision is, of course, fundamental to safe driving. Failing to comply with Rule 92, which requires drivers to wear glasses or contact lenses if needed, can lead to severe penalties and puts lives at risk.
As winter nears, a spokesperson has emphasised the importance of driver vigilance due to potential dangers on the road. "As winter approaches, drivers need to be even more alert to potential dangers. Poor weather conditions, reduced daylight, and slippery road surfaces mean that reaction times and sharp vision are more important than ever. Wearing your glasses ensures you can fully see the road and any hazards, maximising safety for everyone," they said.
