Vision Test

All applicants for a driver's license take a vision test. Beginning drivers must take the knowledge and skills tests.

The minimum level of acceptable vision for full driving privileges is:

20/40

If a driver must wear glasses or contact lenses to meet this standard, Restriction B will be placed on the license.

Drivers who do not meet the 20/40 standard may:

  • Licensed to drive in daylight hours only

  • Required to submit a yearly examination depending on the nature of the vision problem
