Driving Tests Vision Checks and Prison Stats | Glasgow News
Description
Drivers over 70 in the UK won’t be retaking driving tests—but they will face mandatory vision checks every three years when renewing licenses, a move aimed at boosting road safety after years of debate. Meanwhile, a heated dispute rages over prison capacity: one politician claims only 500 new places were created since 2010, while another insists 14,000 were built—both citing the same report, but misinterpreting net vs. total figures. And for those worried about cervical smear tests, rest assured: the brushes sterilized with ethylene oxide are safe—the gas is briefly used, fully removed, and poses no cancer risk to patients, according to health regulators.
