Failing to declare a particular health condition to the DVLA could see motorists hit with a fine of up to £1,000, it has been warned.
Motorists could face a £1,000 fine if they don't tell the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency about certain medical conditions, a rule that many might be unaware of. If you have a condition that affects your driving, you are legally required to disclose it - and failing to do so can indeed lead to a hefty fine.
The Government's official site lists various medical issues that must be reported, including fairly common ones like diabetes, anxiety, arthritis, and high blood pressure. Once a condition is reported to the DVLA, the agency will assess the situation and determine the appropriate action. The DVLA warns: "You need to tell DVLA about some medical conditions as they can affect your driving. You can be fined up to £1,000 if you do not tell DVLA about a medical condition that affects your driving."The Government website clarifies: "You’ll need to tell DVLA and send them your licence. If you have a medical condition that affects your driving and do not voluntarily give up your licence, you must inform DVLA.
