Why it鈥檚 important your eyesight is safe for driving

Four people are killed on UK roads every single day, and a further 80 are seriously injured. One factor that's contributing to many of those deaths is bad eye sight. As many as 1 in 5 drivers could be getting behind the wheel with below par eyesight. Gordon Smart goes to meet one Morning Live viewer who knows the devastating impact of this first hand, after her dad was killed by a motorist who simply couldn't see him. He's also joining the team of officers hoping to prevent unnecessary deaths by taking to the roads to test drivers' sight and identify those who might need help without even realising.
