  • drivers licence question
  • Posted: 2008-05-06 09:34:39 By randy m
  • I have 20/60 with glasses and have moved to Oregon recently. The requirements say that they need 20/70, so does that mean i can just walk in and give the test? I will not be able to read all the lines as i am not 20/20 so will i need a doctors certificate for that case or or will they accept it if i read up till 20/70? Any help is much appreciated?

  • Randy,

    I was born and raised in Oregon. I can shed a little light here.

    The requirement of the 20/70 is that you must have 20/70 or better visual acuity. But there is also a visual field requirement which I can't recall if it is 70 degrees or 110 degrees required. If your fisual field is lower than this, then you cannot drive.

    Best of Luck.
