Eating disorders and driving

You must tell DVLA if you have an eating disorder (for example anorexia nervosa) and it affects your ability to drive safely.

You can be fined up to £1,000 if you don’t tell DVLA about a medical condition that affects your driving. You may be prosecuted if you’re involved in an accident as a result.

Ask your doctor if you’re not sure if your eating disorder will affect your driving.
