MOTORISTS can land a £1,000 fine for failing to tell the DVLA about a medical condition, if it contributes to a car accident on the road.
Last week it was reported that a father lost his driving licence and his job after he was misdiagnosed with epilepsy.
Rod Puckey, 63, claims doctors told him he had epilepsy but in fact, it was just a case of extreme diarrhoea.
Mr Puckey informed the DVLA who said he would not be able to drive for six months, which means that he had to quit his job.
Professionally, he delivers medical supplies around Europe and can travel up to 25,000 miles a year in his car.
He said to the Daily Mirror: "I thought I would let the DVLA know of the illness in case I needed to change my insurance.
"I'm very by the book and a law-abiding citizen so why wouldn't I keep them informed? Turns out doing the honest thing really comes round to bite you.

"They won't give me my licence back despite doctors admitting the epileptic-like note was done in error!"
The DVLA requires motorists to inform them of any medical conditions they have that could impede their driving ability.
Motorists who have a condition listed on the DVLA website, which can impact their driving can land £1,000 fine if it contributes to an accident on the road.
“If patients are unsure whether they need to tell DVLA about a medical condition that could affect their driving, we would strongly encourage them to speak to their doctor or other healthcare professionals.
“In more complex cases we often need additional information from a driver’s GP or other medical professional.
Some medical conditions range from simply problems with anxiety, cancer and depression to the more obscure such as deja vu or Tourettes.
Certain medical conditions will see a driver have their licence instantly revoked, but some will see a the driver lose their licence for a short period of time.
In addition to facing a hefty fine for one of these offences, motorists could also see their insurance premium invalidated and face a jail sentence if it causes a crash.
