How do they know you have to wear glasses whilst driving? I've never had to submit a prescription to DVLA.

 

It asks you on the application form, i guess they use that

 

What if you say 'no' ?

 

when you sat your test they ask you whether u can see a reg plate at a certain distance this is your eye test. after that its up to you.

 

According to my licence, I am an organ donor (115). Can't say I remember ticking that box. Still not that bothered.
