Jade said, “I had the best time today! I just want to thank Suzie and everyone at EyeMatter for organising the speed of sight driving experience toda. I got to go in the car pretty quickly and met Mike, who was lovely. A big thanks to Matt, who was driving with me round the track, he was fantastic! He was telling me left and right, when to accelerate and when to slow down, the sense of freedom I had in the car was fantastic! I would definitely recommend to everyone.”
Clive A wrote, “Myself, alongside the other 29 lovely Eye Matter memberss and volunteers enjoyed a great exhilarating experience with Speed of Sight today. I had heard about Mike,the chap that started Speed of Sight and how he holds the world speed record holder as a blind person,on a motorbike & a car which is 240 mph solo. It was a truly great day and look forward to meeting up again.”

Belinda said, “Have had the most brilliant day, one I’ll remember forever! It was my first time ever behind a wheel of a car. I’ve had a really memorable day with the most amazing bunch of people and wonderful volunteers. Thanks to Eye Matter for giving me this opportunity, it’s something I’ve always wanted to try. By the 3rd lap I was gaining confidence, my instructor Dave was encouraging and helped put me at ease. The set up was brilliant, the volunteers were so friendly and amazing and they really made the day. My friend Caroline accompanied me and took pictures and videos. Loved every minute of it. Thank you Suzie. Hope I’ll get the opportunity to do this again. Xx

We all boarded the coach which was comfortable and God as there safely around 11am. I was lucky in that I got to go among the first batch of drivers and it was one of the most exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had with Eye Matter. I thoroughly enjoyed the instruction and experience which was competently delivered by Speed of Sight and I had a enjoyable relaxing afternoon out in the sun. Fantastic work to all the team from Eye Matter, for a well organised event and I hope, we can do more like this in the near future.”
