I wear eyeglasses for driving, will my vision be tested without them?
No, take your glasses or contact lenses along to your vision test and wear them for the test.
Vision Test
What happens if I fail my vision test at the DriveTest Centre?
You will be given a form to take to your vision specialist that must be completed and returned before you can continue with your application or renewal. If you are attempting to renew a commercial licence and fail the vision test your licence will be downgraded to Class G until this form is returned.
What standards must my eyesight meet to pass the vision test for my driver's licence?
The standards differ depending on the type of licence; for passenger vehicle, motorcycle and driving instructor licences your vision must not be poorer than 20/50, but for commercial licences it must not be poorer than 20/30.
Do I have to pay to have the X condition added or removed from my licence?
No, this is free of charge.
I used to need corrective lenses but my eyesight has improved, how can I get the X condition removed from my licence?
You must visit a DriveTest Centre and either complete a vision test or submit a completed vision form from your vision specialist completed less than six months previously.
