Drivers are putting lives at risk every time they hit the road by not wearing the right glasses, with more than a third of motorists admitting to driving with blurred vision.

Research released by Asda Opticians, in conjunction with road safety charity Brake, has discovered 35 per cent of UK motorists regularly drive with blurred eyesight, while more than 52 per cent confess to wearing the wrong prescription.
