DVLA say failing to can potentially cost drivers up to £1,000 and six points to their licence
Drivers are being warned that they must declare seven changes to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency or risk fines and points on their licence. If motorists fail to disclose relevant changes and subsequently get involved in an accident, they could even face prosecution.
Notification of eyesight changes. Drivers are obliged to inform the DVLA of any deterioration in their eyesight or if they suffer from visual impairments such as cataracts or glaucoma. According to DVLA rules, drivers must be able to read a number plate from 20 metres, with glasses or contact lenses allowed, but these must be worn at all times while driving.
Common conditions requiring disclosure include diabetes, vertigo and sleep apnoea, among others listed on the DVLA website. In severe cases, the DVLA mandates that drivers must surrender their licence if they do not meet the necessary driving standards. Declaring a vehicle off-road with SORN. All vehicles must be insured and taxed unless the owner applies for a Statutory Off-Road Notice when a car isn't being used. If you're planning to take your car off the road for a while, you need to declare it as SORN to avoid unnecessary tax.
The DVLA may request an inspection of the vehicle to verify its roadworthiness following these changes. If it is necessary to conduct tests and the vehicle fails, it may be prohibited from being used on the roads until corrective actions are taken.
