Drivers with certain medical problems must declare them to the DVLA or risk being hit with hefty fines - and a possible licence surrender.The licensing authority currently lists 118 conditions that must be reported and failure to do so could mean a £1,000 fine, or possible prosecution if an accident occurs.

It comes as DVLA is set to update its guidance relating to eye conditions in the coming weeks.Last year, the DVLA made amendments to the medical portion of the application process, making it easier for people to declare health conditions when applying or updating a licence.Previously, only a doctor could assist in filling out an applicant's medical questionnaire, but this ability has been extended to specialist nurses and opticians.The DVLA has confirmed that there are 118 medical conditions that you need to tell the agency about if you want to get behind the wheel.

A medical condition doesn't automatically require a licence surrender, but it may need to be handed over in certain situations that are deemed unsafe.If you develop a condition that needs to be declared to the DVLA, you will have to fill in certain forms or questionnaires which will depend on your condition.

The agency will assess your situation and decide what the best next steps are.You may have to get a new driving licence, which could include a shorter licence - for one, two, three or five years.

7 children removed from Bucks County trailer home with 'unsanitary' conditions, police say
WEST ROCKHILL TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Seven children were removed from their home in Bucks County after officers found them to be living in "unsanitary" and "unsafe" conditions, police say. According to the Pennridge Regional Police Department, on April 23, 2023, officers responded to the 600 block of Roseann Lane in West Rockhill Township for a report of three children entering an abandoned trailer. Officers returned the children to their home and found inadequate living conditions, including a pad lock on the refrigerator. Authorities say the children's parents said the lock was put there because the family had little money and they wanted to prevent the children from eating all the food. Responding officers filed a report with Bucks County Children and Youth before returning with a representative from the department later in the day. While investigating, four more children were found hidden in a back bedroom in the trailer home, police say. MORE LOCAL HEADLINESAccording to officials, the living conditions of the home were found to be unsafe by both responding officers and the investigator from Bucks County Children and Youth. The seven children were removed from the trailer home and placed in protective custody, authorities say. Interviews with the children revealed they lacked basic knowledge, including their birthdays.
