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.” You can voluntarily give up your licence.
You might choose to do this if, for example:
- Your doctor tells you to stop driving for three months or more
- Your medical condition affects your ability to drive safely and lasts for three months or more
