In England we have to tell DVLA about ataxia they get in touch with the doctors to see how bad you are. They have given me a 3 year driving licence then they will look at it again

I am awaiting (fingers crossed ! ) my 3rd three year restricted driving licence. My neurologist requests that I have a driving assessment each time. I send a copy of assessment to her then another copy to DVLA . It takes a long time for them to process application for renewal but it is worth it to maintain my independence and mobility.

🙂It’s likely that regulations may vary in France, If you still drive..check with your Neurologist that you are still safe to do so, and your insurance company may require you to declare a diagnosed medical condition.
