Overview
- New guidance revises multiple reporting forms, clarifying when conditions such as brain tumours, sleep disorders, visual problems, dizziness, dementia, pulmonary hypertension, diabetes, seizures and major cardiac issues must be declared.
- G1 and G1V no longer list AIDS as a notifiable condition, while other musculoskeletal and neurological categories remain covered.
- Standard forms apply to car and motorcycle licences, whereas lorry, bus and coach drivers must use the corresponding “V” series forms.
- Drivers who fail to report relevant conditions risk fines of up to £1,000, with potential prosecution if an unreported issue contributes to a crash.
- The DVLA can require motorists to surrender licences when advised to stop driving for three months or more or when medical standards are not met.
