UK drivers aged 70 and over must renew their driving licences every three years and meet eyesight requirements.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued a reminder to drivers aged 70 and over about a key Highway Code requirement. Once drivers reach 70, they must renew their driving licence every three years and ensure they continue to meet the eyesight requirements for driving.

The service emphasised that eyesight can change gradually without people noticing. Regular eye tests are therefore an important part of maintaining road safety and ensuring vision remains fit for driving.

The reminder was posted on social media on Wednesday, 14 October.
