Driving test failure. - CQ
Seventeen year old female empoyee went for her driving test on Tuesday and failed the eyesight test, worrying that she didn't realise her vision needed correction or that her driving instructor hadn't noticed on a mock test.

The instructor should have checked her eyesight before he let her drive the car on her first lesson, and if it was borderline he should have advised her to see an optician and checked it on a regular basis during the course of lessons. I used to find that with female teenagers someone who could just about read a plate from the required distance one week might be unable to do so another time, whether that was hormonal or not I have no idea but it is something any instructor shoud be aware of as he is commiting an offence himself in allowing her to drive with defective eyesight.
