What about Section 96 of the Road Traffic Act 1988?
This for a roadside test

That only allows police to repeat the reading of a number plate like in the driving test, due to section 92(7B). It does not allow them to require a recent proper eye test. Only the Secretary of State can do that under section 94, in writing, which is relatively rare.

Mark Harper has been voted out in the General Election.
No longer minister for making new laws against cyclists, or ignoring the hundreds of deaths-by-car on our roads.

In any event, the number plate test is pointless. It's possible to have tunnel vision so bad you would be classed as clinically blind and still pass.
