Dementia and driving

You must tell DVLA if you have dementia.

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

There’s a different process for driving with other cognitive problems.
