Ptsd And Uk Driving Licenses

[Jensen]

I was wondering if there were any Members who could let me know what the pitfalls were and how to get over them in respect of driving in the UK?

You need to advise the DVLA if your PTSD might affect your driving - your doctor can tell you if that's likely to be the case. If it is, the legal, responsible thing is to tell them and not drive.

I couldn't drive for a number of years due to seizures caused by post traumatic stress - it was a pain, but killing or injuring someone by driving when I wasn't fit would have been much worse.

What does your doctor say about you driving?

Thank you, I didn't realise it was so simple.
