Another email alert advising on driving when you’re unwell or have conditions which could affect your driving:
Rule 90
Make sure that you are fit to drive. You MUST report to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) any health condition likely to affect your driving.
Use the medical A to Z to see if you need to tell the DVLA about your medical condition.
If a pupil gets into the car for a lesson and I sense that they’re unwell, and especially if they confirm that they are (colds, flu, etc.) then I won’t let them drive.
