Don’t run off and Google every symptom you have after a bad night’s sleep. Unless you’ve actually fainted, had a panic attack at the wheel, or been diagnosed with something serious, you’re probably fine. But if you’re on the list, don’t ghost the DVLA. Call them. Fill out the form. It’s annoying, but it’s better than explaining to a traffic court why you “didn’t think it mattered.”
And really, this list is a favour. It’s the government saying, “Hey, we care enough to make a really long spreadsheet about your safety.” So, next time you’re stuck in traffic, be thankful you’re not dealing with cough syncope or gout while trying to find a parking spot. Cheers to that, and to still passing your eye test.
