Hiya I told dvla and they said it was not a condition that they were concerned about . They wrote me a letter confirming I had alerted them and were not worried about it . So I never told my insurance . Hope this is correct , I was under the impression that u only tell them if dvla are concerned . Can anyone confirm this ?

hiya i think the only time you have to tell them is when you have a lot of trouble with ur hands, and that you can not longer hole the steering wheel any more... or change gears...

hi Rubberman (i dont even want to know where you got your name from!!!)

well as an ex police officer, i can clarify - keeping your driving documents all up to date and correct is solely your responsibility.

Being the devils advocate, what i did was to contact the dvla via email, querying the fm. they emailed me back with 'its not a condition they are concerned about' i then sent a copy of this email to my insurance company to put on my file at their end.

also when getting quotes for new insurance, there is a ticky box about dvla notifiable conditions. make sure you tick the box 'ive notified them but they are not imposing any contions - the very basic answer'. this shouldnt make a jot of difference to your premiums, but you have covered yourself for insurance purposes.

have a great day!
