Drivers have been warned that failing to inform the DVLA about certain medical conditions could leave them uninsured and vulnerable. It’s not just insurance which may be affected, as drivers could be fined up to £1,000 or risk prosecution if they don’t declare certain medical conditions and end up in an accident.
