They found that when he subsequently drove to Barnard Castle to check his eyesight "there might have been a minor breach" of the law.
and said that if an officer had stopped Mr Cummings on the way to or from the town he would have been told to return to his father's property.
The bit about testing eyesight is just ridiculous!!
And downright inconsiderate of others.
If he was worried about eyesight he should not have driven and endangered others.
I am now going to wash my hands to Wash this man right out of my hair.....and wash this Man away!

He actually said "On Sunday 12 April, 15 days after I had first displayed symptoms, I decided to return to work. My wife was very worried, particularly given my eyesight seemed to have been affected by the disease. She didn't want to risk a nearly 300-mile drive with our child, given how ill I had been. We agreed that we should go for a short drive to see if I could drive safely. " (Source: Independent.co.uk) and that could mean lots of things. Maybe he had a headache if he read. Maybe he had trouble concentrating.
Instead of asking what he meant, the media just jumped on the eyesight story and ran with it.
And I am tired of the suggestion that misbehaviour by Domonic Cummings should lead the general public to behave badly too. Following that logic the press should never report on an unsolved crime because it might encourage other people to go out have a crack at burglary or murder.
By all means report him to the police. Call for a police review of the matter. And then move on.
Maybe try asking why he is so essential to the PM. I would quite like to know that.

If there was any danger that he was unfit to drive or any worry that he was
then he should not have got in a car.....end of!
