Key Points

Determine whether Snellen visual acuity accurately predicts a driver's performance on the standard number plate test.

Drivers with 6/9 visual acuity cannot be assumed to pass standard driving visual assessments, while some individuals with 6/12 visual acuity may still meet driving requirements.
