There are currently 112 conditions that you must declare to the DVLA or you could risk a hefty fine - or even be forced to surrender your licence.
Failure to declare these conditions could lead to a fine of up to £1,000 and even prosecution if your undeclared condition leads to an accident.
It comes after the DVLA recently made a major change to medical application process in a bid to speed up the process.
