When I worked in the Middle East, along with Europeans and Americans, I held my head high, proudly in the knowledge that Britons were highly respected... yes, even by Americans.

Today, I'm grateful that I don't work, or even live, near to such people from other lands, as I'm afraid to say that I'd feel somewhat embarrassed.
I'm the same person.  Unfortunately, my country is certainly not what it once was.

Oh.  My dirty, filthy mind again.

The highway code definition of the eyesight required to drive is imo very low. A car numberplate at 20m should certainly not be a challenge and if I couldn't meet that I think I'd likely voluntarily not drive.

I wasn't aware of any eyesight requirement for mobility scooters but as they travel far slower than cars there is a lot more time to avoid a collision so I would expect it to be less stringent than the requirement for a car.

JBR - mobility scooters can be quite heavy and I don't think I'd regard being hit by one trivial. TBH though they aren't the threat to pedestrians here - cycles and electric scooters all use the path and are a lot faster. Some riders seem to think it's up to you to get out of their way. Mind you some on mobility scooters do too.

To be honest, poor eyesight it important for driving a car or even riding a motorcycle, for obvious reasons.

I'm not sure, though, about mobility scooters.  I suppose they are relatively small and light and therefore are less likely to injure someone, though I suppose that they could cause an accident on the road even when simply crossing it.

I just feel that I should mention my offence at the title of this thread.  It's rude!  WTF

Maybe. She may have botched her makeup but that face looks more like a bloke than a woman to me. I really cant figure it. She always gives me the impression that she's full of herself or whatever the correct  expression is.  I really cant see that she'd authorise that video.

AI?
