Independent — Leicester South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 October 2025

Debate

Vehicle Headlight Glare Standards

Contribution

I agree wholeheartedly that better cars mean that we are driving for longer, but does the Minister share my concern that the UK is the only country in Europe that allows people to hold a driving licence until the age of 70 without ever being required to take a sight test? Perhaps we need a sight test at initial licence application, at every 10-year renewal and at every three years from the age of 70 because we are driving for much longer.
