do i need to wear glasses when driving?

Question

i have been prescribed with glasses recently
ive passed the eye test in my driving lesson, where i had to read a number plate in the first session
but should i be wearing them at all times when driving?

Answer 1

It would be in your best interest to do so. If you have prescription glasses, they will allow you to better judge depth and estimate the speed of an oncoming vehicle. You would be able to respond better to any emergency.

I'm slightly myopic and recently got glasses and they're actually most useful to me while driving.

Answer 2

If they improve your distance vision why wouldn't you want to wear them?
It's lethal out there, and you need all the edge you can get.

In the USA it's just over 100 dead a day,
(A twin towers casualty list every month!)
And it's the biggest single cause of death between the ages of 5 and 27.

Yes, if you need to drive, and you haven't got your glasses, you are legal (but check each time your Rx changes).
But like minimal tread on a tyre, legal and ideal aren't the same thing.

Answer 3

It depends what you were given glasses for. If it's for reading, then no you shouldn't wear them when driving. If they're for distance then it would be advisable. How long is it since you passed your test? Eyes can change in as little as six months. We could advise you better if you told us the prescription.

Answer 4

If you passed the permit tst without glasses then u should be fine to drive without them.

Answer 5

It better for your own safety as accidents on the road on rising

Answer 6

I suggest you wear them.

Answer 7

if you drive fine without them then no.
