You're right there's several things being looked at.
Actually overall I support anything and everything to make roads safer.

I drive a lot and get really irate at a lot of other drivers, who haven't it seems a clue how they should even indicate.
In fact I often wonder how they passed their tests.

I do support fully eye testing, nothing at all wrong with ensuring those driving vehicles have good sight.
There is also consideration being made to look at reducing the alcohol limit as to driving in England/ Wales to the levels they are in Scotland.
Speaking for myself obviously, I'd make the alcohol limit zero.
I don't think anyone drinking alcohol should be driving and in charge of a vehicle.
