<p>To keep bus and lorry drivers on the road, the Government has made temporary provisions
to remove the requirement to submit a medical report, which includes questions about
eyesight, when applying to renew a bus or lorry driving licence, until further notice.
Provided they have no notifiable medical conditions, drivers will be issued a licence
that is valid for one year instead of the usual five. This only applies if the licence
expired after 1 January 2020 or is due to expire.</p><p>As is always the case, drivers
must ensure they are medically fit to drive and they are legally obliged to notify
the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency of the onset or worsening of any medical condition.</p><p>
