Vanity over vision

Over 3.8 million female motorists put vanity before safety by failing to wear their prescribed specs whilst driving, according to a survey conducted by car insurers Sheila’s Wheels.

Their research claims over a quarter of female motorists should wear glasses whilst driving but do not always do so, with 10 per cent of women questioned admitting to feeling embarrassed by how they look in unfashionable specs.

Jacky Brown at Sheilas’ Wheels car insurance, commented: “We are urging all women to get regular eye examinations, always wear glasses whilst driving if they need to, and invest in a pair of fashionable prescription sunglasses so they can look fantastic and drive safely when the sun shines. Having good vision is crucial for a safe journey.”
