If you have bipolar, it may have implications for driving.
You must inform the following about any medical condition you have that could affect your ability to drive:
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) (Includes the correct form for doing so)
Your insurance company.
You must tell the DVLA no matter how long you have been driving; this includes during the application for your first licence and renewal of an existing licence.
As soon as you become aware of your diagnosis or possible diagnosis of bipolar, you must alert the DVLA
You should also be aware of the effects your medication has on your ability to drive. In addition to this, if you have a substance misuse issue, including alcohol, you are required to tell the DVLA about this.
Your doctor or psychiatrist may be asked to provide information on your fitness to drive.
