The update, posted across social media including on Facebook, said: "Once you reach 70, you need to renew your driving licence every three years and make sure you continue to meet the eyesight requirements for driving.

"Our eyesight can change over time, sometimes without us noticing, so looking after your eye health is an important part of staying safe on the road.

"Regular eye tests can help make sure your vision is fit for driving."
