If you've got certain kinds of health problems, such as issues with your eyesight or diabetes, it's possible that they could affect your driving

Drivers should notify the Driving, Vehicle and Licencing Agency of two little-known health conditions they need to declare before they can continue driving.

Therefore it's vital that you let the DVLA know of anything that could be a potential problem - and failing to do so could see you slapped with a £1,000 fine and invalid insurance.Febrile convulsions are fits that can happen when someone has a fever. Signs and symptoms of febrile seizures include high temperatures, followed by the person making a moaning or unusual sound or becoming stiffened and unresponsive.

In most cases, these seizures are triggered by having a fever. The true cause of a febrile seizure is not clear, but viral and bacterial infections are usually associated with febrile seizures. A spokesperson said: "You can be fined up to £1,000 if you do not tell DVLA about a medical condition that affects your driving. If you’re involved in an accident, you may be prosecuted."
