<p>All drivers are required by law to notify the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency
(DVLA) at any time about the onset or worsening of a medical condition affecting safe
driving. When a driver first applies for a Group 2 (lorry or bus) licence they must
submit a medical report regarding their fitness to drive which must be completed by
a doctor.</p><p> </p><p>Group 2 licences are valid for five years. At each renewal,
drivers under the age of 45 must make a declaration about whether or not they suffer
from a medical condition that may affect their fitness to drive. Drivers renewing
their driving entitlement at the age of 45 and over must include a medical report
completed by a doctor. At the age of 65, renewals are required annually and must be
supported by a doctor.</p><p> </p><p>The DVLA will investigate a person’s fitness
to drive if an application, report or a third party notification indicates that they
may have a medical condition that affects safe driving.</p>
