Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

What minimum vision standard must be met for driving without corrective lenses?

1. 20/30

2. 20/50

3. 20/40

4. 20/60

The correct answer is: 20/40

To drive without corrective lenses in Delaware, a minimum vision standard of 20/40 must be met. This standard indicates that a person can read at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can read at 40 feet. Meeting this requirement helps ensure that the driver has adequate vision to safely operate a vehicle, which is crucial for recognizing road signs, other vehicles, pedestrians, and various driving conditions. The other options represent vision standards that are not sufficient for driving without corrective lenses in Delaware. For example, while someone with 20/60 vision can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 60 feet, this level of vision is below the accepted standard for safe driving. Thus, maintaining a standard of 20/40 helps to enhance road safety for all users.
