      I have seen online as from the 12th October drivers will be required to renew their driving licences previously 70 now 62 every 3 years, eyes test now mandatory.

      Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.

        Its rubbish. There is nothing from the dvla that suggests that.

        There is a lot of online nonsense about the check at 62  but there is no validation or credible source.

        Thats why putting stuff like that through Chatgpt to get a clearer picture.

          I’ve had a quick look and all I can see is a proposal (not yet confirmed) for periodic eye tests for the over 70s. No mention of 62 anywhere.

              The wife noted it, I could not find anything on DVLA site, fortunately I have my eyes tested every 12 months , strangely I have my Diabetes Screening appointment  Monday the 13th at 12.00.

                There’s so much BS floating about right now I blame AI. Google news round up thing keeps pumping stories at me about a £250 & £500 & £812 cost of living payments when there are NONE!

                Some asshats somewhere have figured out how to manipulate their articles to drive traffic to it. I venture to suggest this is the same. Unless it comes from reputable sources or direct from gov or dvla then it’s rubbish.

                They won’t do what needs to be done for fear of upsetting oaps. I think EVERYONE should get checked every 0 years when your photocard licence  needs renewing . I’ve been on the receiving end of too many incidents and near misses from older drivers and when it happens you can’t even report them not even to the police.
