Ah, the driving eyesight test—a gateway to the open road or a cruel trap for those who squint too much. In Australia, you typically need to read a number plate from 20.5 metres away with both eyes open, or pass a vision screening at your local motor registry. Minimum visual acuity required is usually 6/12 (20/40) with or without corrective lenses.
Failing this test means no licence, no matter how much you protest about your legendary driving skills. Keep those specs handy or update your prescription, and if you’re buying a car, make sure you can actually see the dashboard.
