Almost half of company car drivers (45.6%) on UK roads have not had an eyesight test in the last three years, and nearly 30% have not had their sight tested in the past five years, or at all.
The statistics come as a result of analysis conducted by online driver assessment and e-driver training specialist E-Training World, which examined data from 340 drivers from some of the UK’s biggest fleet operators who have recently completed the company’s online risk assessment.
