Vision Arcade

Three quick games make visual practice more engaging. Calibrate the screen first. Your final result describes how you did in the games; it cannot measure legal fitness to drive. For this scale to mean anything, you must measure both the bank card and your viewing distance.

Game 1

Letter Line

Read five short lines of letters at an approximate chart size.

Game 2

Which Way?

Choose the direction of a rotated E-shaped symbol.

Game 3

Plate Detective

Read five number plates. This is a game outside the UK, not another country’s official check.

1. Set up your display

At 100% browser zoom, hold a standard bank card against your screen. Set the blue shape to the same width, then sit or stand at your chosen measured distance. Use your usual driving glasses or contacts if needed.

CARD SIZE GUIDE

A standard bank card is 85.6 mm wide. Use a larger screen if it cannot match the guide or you cannot see the entire challenge from your position. Recalibrate after zoom or orientation changes.


What this result can tell you

It reflects your answers to 15 screen-based items under conditions you set yourself. It cannot reliably measure visual acuity, visual fields, eye health or eligibility for a driving licence. The real test differs by country and, in several countries, by state or province.

If you struggle or have any doubt about your vision, arrange a professional eye examination. Use your country’s official licensing guidance before driving or taking a test. A strong game score is not evidence that you meet its standard.
