Motorpoint Driver Vision Awareness Survey
Motorpoint commissioned a nationwide survey of 2,000 UK car owners about eyesight and driving, highlighting widespread confusion about the number‑plate test, DVLA reporting duties and frequency of eyesight checks. The retailer used the findings to urge better public awareness and promote discussion about mandatory testing for older drivers.
Why it worked: It paired fresh, alarming compliance stats with a clear policy call-to-action, creating a timely regulatory angle journalists could advance.
The lesson: Consider surveying a legal requirement most people misunderstand, then publish city-level gaps and a concrete policy fix to drive coverage.
