Two new health conditions drivers must declare to DVLA - or risk £1,000 fine

Motorists are required by the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA) to declare certain health conditions that might affect their ability to drive safely. These include conditions such as glaucoma and several others that affect your eyesight, diabetes, sleep apnoea and heart, with the full list from A to Z being quite a long one.

Drivers who don't report these conditions to the agency could invalidate their insurance and risk being fined up to £1,000. Motorists could also be prosecuted if they have an accident.

In recent days, two more major health conditions have been added to list. As of December, any drivers who suffer from fits or febrile convulsions must report this to the DVLA, reports Birmingham Live.
