Driving and ill health: If you have a health condition and you live and hold a current driving licence in the UK it is your responsibility to inform the DVLA of your health problem. The Drivers Medical Group in the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has been set-up to establish whether drivers who have medical conditions are able to satisfy the medical standards required for safe driving. If you fail to tell them and you have an accident that can be shown to be the fault of your illness or the medication you take not only will it invalidate (if you have not informed them) your insurance, you can also leave yourself open to prosecution.
