Abstract

distance outside the practice-this would provide a useful public service. ConclusionsSnellen acuity is a poor indicator of an individual's chance of passing a number plate test, and it cannot be assumed that a driver with a visual acuity of 6/9 will meet the standard for driving.All drivers with 6/9 vision or less must be encouraged to self assess.Conversely, it should not be assumed that a driver with a visual acuity of 6/12 is below the standard for driving, particularly as loss of the right to drive has such far reaching social implications.7 8 Advice that vision required for driving lies somewhere between 6/9 and 6/12 acuity could cause confusion if these points are not stressed.AB's current address is Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham NG7 2UH.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
