Martin, I'm not too sure about the results and what constitutes a pass or a fail, perhaps a Google search might be helpful here and provide the answer.

When I have my field vision checked the Optician actually tells me if he thinks all is fine, I know they are not meant to and that is a decision for the DVLA to decide but he does say nonetheless, it just a shame yours didn't give any indication but they probably don't want to get people's hopes up or dash them for that matter. I suspect I'll have to have another test in the coming weeks as I'm in the process of renewing my licence.

hi thanks i did ask if she thought i was ok in her opinion to drive
she said yes
but woulent comit her self which as you say understandable
tryed google theres loads on the subject one i found said the test is mostly for testing vision impared but as
a walking test and not fit for purpose
but as for dvla testing just say same 20 degrees + - and 120 horizotal
and clutersof three but nothing concrete
thanks martin
