    Hi all

    My 10 yr driving licence is due for renewal but i'm a bit confused as to whether i need to get an eye test or not. I'm short sighted and wear glasses or contacts all the time and it says on my expired licence that i need to wear corrective lenses, but i'm not sure if i need to get an eye test done for my new licence or not ?

    Don't wanna go an apply for one only to be told i need to get an eye test done.

    Thanks in advance

    I'm pretty sure you don't, but it'll say on the form.

    From reading their website it looks like you don't need an eyetest.

    Best bet is to call the RSA and ask, any dealing I've had with then have been answered quickly and I even got a call back after about 5 min the one time they didn't know the answer.

    Just for the record i rang the RSA today and u don't need an eye test if your renewing your licence, only applies for your first licence.
