The Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) could hit drivers with a £1,000 fine if they don't report certain health conditions to the motoring body.

Any motorist who has developed a 'notifiable' medical condition or disability, or if a condition or disability has worsened since obtaining a licence, must notify the DVLA as soon as possible, the Government website suggests.

After they have been notified, the DVLA will decide if that driver can continue holding a driving licence - though you can usually keep driving while your application is being considered.

They might contact your doctor or consultant, arrange for you to be examined or ask you to take a driving assessment, or an eyesight or driving test.
