DVLA may require drivers to retake assessments in 2025

The DVLA may require some drivers, particularly those with disabilities, to take a driving assessment to maintain their licenses in 2025. This follows a duty for drivers to report medical conditions to the DVLA. The assessment is not a pass/fail test but offers feedback on driving skills. It may help drivers understand adaptations needed for their vehicles. If a medical condition is deemed unsafe for driving, the DVLA can instruct individuals to stop driving until their situation improves. A reapplication for the license will be necessary once they are deemed safe to drive again.
