their eyesight, physical fitness, and

they stay safe on the road.

▶ To be closer to properly read signs and markings.
▶ More time to recover from the glare of bright
headlights at night or the sun.
It is so important that you see well to help ensure safe
driving. If you wear glasses or contact lenses for driving,
please remember to:
▶ Always wear them when you drive, even if you are only
traveling a short distance. If your driver license indicates
that you must wear corrective lenses and you are
not wearing them, it may result in receiving a ticket,
missing a stop sign, or getting involved in a crash.
▶ Keep an extra pair of glasses in your car in case your
regular glasses get broken or lost. This will also help
if you do not always wear glasses and forget to take
them with you when you drive.
▶ Avoid dark glasses or tinted contact lenses when
driving at night, even if you think it will help with
headlight glare. You need as much light as possible to
help you see clearly when driving at night.
