UK DVLA updates "assessing fitness to drive" guidelines, requiring drivers with high blood pressure or other medical conditions to report changes to ensure road safety. Failing to disclose a notifiable medical condition can lead to fines of up to £1,000 and potential legal prosecution. The updated guidelines provide clearer standards and recovery periods for drivers with neurological disorders, diabetes, epilepsy, and heart-related issues, as well as increased transparency in managing alcohol use disorders among drivers.
