Drivers over 70 in England and Wales may face mandatory driving bans if they fail new, stricter eye tests. The proposed changes follow a coroner's report criticizing the UK's current licensing system as the "laxest in Europe." The aim is to improve road safety by ensuring elderly drivers meet adequate vision standards. Further details on the specific testing methods and implementation timeline are expected to be released soon. The proposal has sparked debate regarding age-related restrictions and individual liberties versus public safety on the roads.
