This is true, but what will happen is if you are stopped for a licence check and aren't wearing them, they simply ask you to read a standard numberplate at 20 metres.


You could be wearing glasses for your test and have since swapped to contact lenses.

Can you drive it away discreetly?

Drive an uninsured vehicle without a licence - brilliant plan. Probably better get really drunk first, just to be sure.

BS written all over this.

Yeah and?

He was wearing glasses.

Bit unnecessary - AdrianC was just establishing a fact, didn't make anything of it.

(or had laser treatment)

You missed the point. The OP said he couldn't "obviously drive" so I wondered if he could do it discreetly instead.

Thats what happened, i have no reason to lie ,, i didnt think about taking my glasses off, that's not a normal thought when i thought i was perfectly legal, and no , i passed my test 27 years ago. i didn't need glasses then. Vosa are very much active around ports btw.

The car has been retrieved and a happy new owner, and ive lost a car and half of a revoked licence too.

This is nothing to do with wearing glasses. Nothing at all. Please don't take us for fools. If your eyesight (as you were driving - so with glasses) was sub-standard, then you might be talking. But wearing glasses when your licence doesn't have 01? No. Not wearing glasses if it does? They might make you do a roadside test, but if you've got lenses or have had laser, then no problem. MS70 is the licence code for "Driving with uncorrected eyesight" (3pts only).

DVSA are vanishingly unlikely to stop a private car near a port just at random - that's not what they're there for.

There is only one reason you can be asking about buying insurance to get your car back - and it's because you were stopped without insurance, and that would be police ANPR pinging you.


If you passed your test 27 years ago, you would not have had your licence revoked, unless there was a medical problem. Revocation is what happens in the first two years when people hit six points. The other reason people get their licence pulled is a ban, not a revocation.

Revocation also happens when the licence isn't surrendered for points although it would technically show as an expired substantive or provisional.

Lost half a licence so that'll be the six points for no insurance.

You've been rumbled from your first post. None of this is true so I'd find another forum to tell your stories on.
