Only people with 'perfect eyesight' can spot matching number plates in this busy traffic scene
Protecting your eyes from the sun, the screen, and general damage is crucial if you want to preserve your peepers into your old age. Significant sight loss affects over 180,000 people in Scotland, according to the Scottish Government.
This equates to one in 30 of the population, and, incredibly, it is predicted that this figure will double by 2031. With that in mind, for brainteaser fans, we have one that is perfectly suited - but only for those with "perfect eyesight".
Vehicle finance provider First Response Finance, has released a tricky new visual challenge, challenging you to spot the matching number plates hidden within a grid of vehicles.
While it may look simple at first, it puts even the most observant drivers to the test. Just a quarter can successfully find the identical plates in under 30 seconds.
And many have been left scratching their heads and doubting their 20/20 vision.
We'd love to see if you can crack it. Seeing double? Only eagle-eyed drivers can spot the matching number plates in this busy traffic scene.
Can you spot the two identical number plates hidden within a grid of vehicles in 30 seconds?

Council to object to controversial Clydebank battery site
A planning application for the energy site, which would be made up of a compound of batteries and associated electrical equipment, buildings, fencing and situated near Hardgate, has been submitted by Braidfield Battery Storage Limited. Scottish Ministers have received an application under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 for the construction and operation of the storage system with a generating capacity of up to 100 megawatts on the land. Under the 1989 Act, the assessment of the submitted application is undertaken via the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit for the Scottish Ministers. If approved, the development would take place to the east of Braidfield Farm within the open countryside on part of the Green Belt. It would be made up of 108 battery units and 135 power converters with the battery units taking the form of metal units similar in appearance to a shipping container. READ MORE: Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games schedule announced - here's what to expect READ MORE: Major Glasgow Central railway line to be closed multiple times in August The Scottish Government has advised that 315 representations have been received in connection with the proposal. Of those, 25 are in support while 290 are in objection. Objections so far include concerns over the loss of view, impact upon good quality agricultural land, fire risks and safety hazards, while those in support say the development would be good for the area, there may be cheaper electricity as a result while environmental benefits occur. A paper being presented to West Dunbartonshire planning committee next week states that the council wishes to object to the proposal, which it feels is not in line with the local development plan. It reads: 'The council objects to the proposal as it has not been demonstrated that no other suitable sites are available in a location outside the Green Belt. 'The council also objects to the proposal as it has not been demonstrated that the proposal would minimise landscape and visual impacts within the Green Belt as far as possible 'The council also objects to the proposal as it could have a significant adverse impact upon the setting of the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site and Scheduled Monument.'

Couple at war with council over plans to BULLDOZE £640k house to build dream home near Glasgow
The Blacks have now turned to the Scottish Government in a bid to have the decision overturned DREAMS DASHED Couple at war with council over plans to BULLDOZE £640k house to build dream home near Glasgow Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A COUPLE have been blocked from bulldozing a £640,000 bungalow and replacing it with their dream 'green' home. Lewis and Kathryn Black bought Oak Lodge in Newton Mearns, East Renfrewshire, before seeking approval to flatten it. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Lewis and Kathryn Black bought Oak Lodge in Newton Mearns Credit: Pressteam Scotland 2 They want to replace it with a stunning architect designed mansion Credit: Pressteam Scotland They paid £637,500 in 2023 for the detached house and want to replace it with a stunning architect designed mansion. The new luxury villa includes three bedrooms, an outdoor balcony, a pantry, TV room and a dog house. They have claimed demolishing the existing 'substandard' 1950s property is the only option that is financially viable to them. But they are now locked in a planning battle after East Renfrewshire Council refused permission and said the scheme went against regulations. The Blacks have now turned to the Scottish Government in a bid to have the decision overturned. An appeal document said: "It is not considered that the existing 1950s dwelling makes 'positive contribution' to the character of the Upper Whitecraigs Conservation Area. "Given this it should not therefore be necessary to then have to demonstrate that its condition prevents its retention at a 'reasonable cost'. "However, and without prejudice, the submitted feasibility appraisals clearly demonstrate that the only financially viable option will be the demolition of the existing substandard dwelling, and the erection of a modern new replacement dwelling on the appeal site." A design statement from their architect said: "The applicants intend to create a multi generational home for themselves and their growing family including dogs. "The existing house and facilities are dilapidated and in a relatively poor quality making adapting modern living and thermal comfort increasingly difficult. Incredible moment crowd gathers as Glasgow tower blocks are DEMOLISHED "The design is influenced by both the existing topography and the wider context of the site. The proposal of a new house, together with the form and materiality of the proposed dwelling, are designed to adopt a contemporary interpretation of nearby properties. "The existing dwelling is of a traditional construction, and has poor levels of insulation and it is considered that improving the construction quality of these buildings, whilst improving services, energy efficiency, heating, etc, would be impractical and financially imprudent when considering the likely value which could be attained." A neighbour objected to the Black's plans and claimed Oak Lodge was 'suitable for renovation' and should be maintained as a family home. They said: "The property was always maintained to a high standard and is suitable for renovation and improvements to make it a modern and efficient family home, which blends into the local natural and built environment." The local community council adopted a neutral stance but noted the house had been empty for a 'considerable period' of time which had led to a 'deterioration of its integrity'. Rejecting the move, the council said: "It has not been demonstrated that the structural condition of the building prevents its retention at a reasonable cost nor has it been demonstrated that reasonable efforts have been made to retain, repair and reuse the building. "The demolition of the existing house is contrary to the adopted local development plan as there is no acceptable replacement development proposal in place because the replacement scheme applied for will not preserve and enhance the special character of the conservation area." A government reporter is expected to issue a decision in due course.

Berwick Bank approval a 'dark day for seabirds' warn nature groups
Developers have said this could generate enough electricity each year to power every household in Scotland around twice over. Consent for the construction and operation of the wind farm is still subject to the developer, SSE Renewables, producing a detailed sea bird compensation plan outlining how adverse impacts on seabirds will be compensated for, and nature charities have expressed their concerns about the project. Read More: Anne McCall, Director of RSPB Scotland, said: 'This is a very dark day for seabirds. It is a terrible decision on a really bad development. 'Berwick Bank would be catastrophic for Scotland's globally important seabirds which are already facing alarming declines. In addition, its impacts are so damaging they will make the relative impacts of other windfarms significantly higher. This one windfarm is going to make it really challenging to accelerate renewable projects across Scottish seas. We are incredibly concerned that Scottish Government have granted consent for a project which could catapult some of Scotland's most-loved seabird species towards extinction. 'RSPB Scotland recognises climate change is one of the biggest threats to seabirds, but there needs to be seabirds left to save. We support nature-positive offshore wind, in the right locations with minimised impacts on wildlife and measures to restore and protect seabird populations. But this is predicted to be one of the most damaging windfarms for birds we are aware of anywhere on the planet. 'We will be carefully scrutinising the details of the consent documents over the coming hours and days and considering what further steps we will take.' Harry Huyton, CEO of the Scottish Seabird Centre, said: 'The Scottish Government's decision to consent Berwick Bank today is devastating news for seabirds, with tens of thousands expected to be killed by the development. "The Scottish Seabird Centre and nature charities across Scotland have repeatedly called on the Scottish Government to refuse consent for Berwick Bank and to instead back lower impact windfarms, and we are grateful to the thousands of supporters who have emailed the Cabinet Secretary in support of this campaign. It's deeply disappointing that these concerns - and the advice of the Government's own adviser, NatureScot, who also objected to the development - appear to have been ignored. "While a consent has been issued today, it remains conditional on the developer, SSE, developing a robust plan to compensate for the impact of the development on seabirds. Given the sheer scale of impact, we are sceptical that such a plan could ever be developed. "From one of the world's largest gannet colonies on Bass Rock to the kittiwake and razorbill colonies at St Abbs Head, Scotland is privileged to be home to internationally important populations of seabirds. We have a responsibility to protect these extraordinary species, yet most seabird species in Scotland are in decline and many have been hit hard in recent years by avian flu. Consenting Berwick Bank risks further fuelling declines, in direct contradiction to the Scottish Government's commitments to tackle the nature emergency. "We will now look closely at this deeply concerning decision and consider next steps.'
