Unsurprisingly the worst offenders are women, some 14 million female motorists need glasses to meet the legal requirement of reading a car number plate at 70ft.
But one in four regularly drives without them — and one in five has had a crash or close shave within the past year as a result.
Incredibly one in 16 believes they are safe to get behind the wheel despite their poor vision.
The same report also named the most bizarre insurance claims recieved in a single year, so funny in fact that we just had to mention them.
A motorist called his insurance company after a camel kicked his car.
While another said his windscreen was melted by a crashing Harrier jet.
In another case, a car windscreen was shattered by a nut thrown by a squirrel.
One car was dented when a naked pedestrian ran across it for a joke.
And another claim came after a woman put shampoo in her tank thinking it was petrol.
