Minister for transport Fiona Hyslop is also encouraging the Scottish population to get their eyes checked regularly… “changes in our eyesight is something we’re all affected by as we get older, and with Scotland’s older population continuing to age, it’s particularly important to ensure we all stay safe on the road”.

A survey conducted last year by age Scotland states that 72% of over 60’s drive as their main mode of transportation. Catherine Crawford, CEO of Age Scotland said, “this campaign is a good reminder for older drivers to get their eyes examined regularly”.
