Overview

• The DVLA has released a comprehensive list of 189 medical conditions that drivers must declare, including diabetes, sleep apnoea, strokes, and glaucoma.
• Drivers must report new medical conditions, worsening of existing ones, or disabilities that could affect their ability to drive safely.
• Failure to disclose a condition can lead to legal charges, immediate licence revocation, and rejection of future applications, especially if an accident occurs.
• Motorists can declare conditions online or via paper form, with the DVLA potentially requiring GP input, medical assessments, or imposing driving restrictions.
• Reports estimate over one million UK drivers have not disclosed required conditions, prompting the DVLA to prepare for stricter enforcement measures.
