You need glasses to read a vehicle number plate at the required distance. When must you wear them?
- A Only in bad weather conditions
- B Whenever you're driving
- C When you think it's necessary

Why this is the answer
Have your eyesight tested before you start your practical training. Then, throughout your driving life, have checks periodically, as your vision may change.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Only in bad weather conditions — The requirement does not depend on the weather.
- C
- When you think it's necessary — It is not left to your judgement.
- D
- Only at night time — It applies by day as well.
Where this comes from
- Driving: the essential skills — section 1

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
