Closed Require health professionals notify DVLA of all 'notifiable' medical conditions

Closed on

This petition is calling on the Government to make it mandatory for all health professionals to report to the DVLA any drivers with health conditions that may affect their ability to drive safely.

The Government should create legal obligations for medical professionals to inform the DVLA if a patient has been diagnosed with condition which could mean that they are unsafe to operate a vehicle.

Currently patients are advised to inform the DVLA and insurer themselves if they have a diagnosis. There are no safeguarding measures to ensure that this has been done.

The purpose of this petition is to help improve road safety.
