Hertz Rental Charge

Upon return of the car, I didn't have time to refuel the car so was happy to pay for that and they told me they…

Police to check driver's eysight
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-45387965 I don't think they should be revoking licences in an uncontrolled, unscientifc test; maybe order an eyesight test at most.
