Last month, a pensioner who had been told not to drive because of his failing eyesight has been jailed after he hit and killed a cyclist.
John Johnstone, 84, struck rider Hanno Garbe while driving near the Scottish town of Aviemore in March 2019.
The driver, who had been told on multiple occasions that he must not drive because he had cataracts in both his eyes that seriously impacted his vision, has now been jailed for 32 months for causing death by dangerous driving.
