Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and driving

You must tell DVLA if you’re diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and it affects your ability to drive safely.

If your driving is not affected by PTSD, you do not need to tell DVLA. Ask your doctor if you’re unsure.

You can be fined up to £1,000 if you do not tell DVLA about PTSD that affects your ability to drive safely. You may be prosecuted if you’re involved in an accident as a result.
