Abstract

Telescopic aids have been advocated for meeting visual acuity requirements for driver licensing. Safeguards and dangers of such devices are discussed.

Using telescopic spectacles, a controlled road driving test proved that the wearer was made unfit to drive.

Licensing requirements should not permit telescopic spectacles except in rare exceptional circumstances.
