Applying for a driving licence can be confusing at the best of times. And when you have diabetes, it can be slightly trickier.Essentially, you need to tell the DVLA about your diabetes depending on how it's treated and the licence you want or are applying for.If you don't tell the DVLA about your diabetes or any other medical conditions that affect your driving when you should, you can be fined up to £1,000 and could even be prosecuted if you are involved in an accident as a result.This video is a guide on how to complete Form D1: Application for a Driving Licence.
Change the address on your driving licence Contents. Complete the ‘changes’ section on letter D741 that came with your licence. Send the following to DVLA: a completed form D1.

The key category is C1 (or C1+E if you want to tow something with your MH). You will be entitled to these Categories under the grandfather provsions if you got your full licence before 1997 so you shouldn't need to take a driving test. If you aren't bothered about a trailer just ask for C1.Don't forget that you need the medical form too. There are threads about that (and how to get a cheap and easy medical examination) on this Forum.Edited by StuartO 2017-11-01 4:00 PMPosted: 1 November 2017 4:43 PMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?Location: East Sussex.

If Fesspark has held his licence for over 60 years, is now 75, and is considering applying for a C1 licence, I think he will have had, and then lost (presumably when he turned 70) his C1 (grandfather rights) entitlement. I think what he now wishes to do is to regain his grandfather rights.I don't know whether he can do that, but have a feeling that, after five years, his only route may be to apply from scratch, which I think will involve taking the full HGV test. If successful, I think he will find that the medical requirements are more rigorous than those to retain grandfather rights, and may involve medicals at two, and not three, year intervals. Failure to pass the medical results, I think, in immediate loss of licence, with the doctor obliged to notify DVLA accordingly.
In which case, having a 3,850 kg motorhome that he suddenly can't drive, may be problematic.I think he'd be wise to take advice on the practical and cost implications of tying himself to that route, and also to ask his doctor for a health check, before committing himself to a vehicle of more than 3,500kg MAM.Posted: 1 November 2017 4:53 PMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?A posting machinePosts: 345. This is a very interesting topic.Like Brian says, I understood that once you lost (gave up) your right to drive over 3500, you could not get it back.
Not sure it's worth the hassle involved, as you would have to have a medical every 3 years, to keep licence, anyway.Please let us all know, the outcome, as this will be of interest to many coming up to 70 as well. Much too late for us personally, but more than happy to keep to 3500.any way!!PJayPS Is there a maximum age for a HGV licence?Posted: 1 November 2017 10:14 PMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?Epic contributorPosts: 1889. As has been said upthread, the official websites are ambiguous to say the least about renewing a C1. So I asked the DVLA how long a licence would be valid for, assuming medical at 70 OK. Their response was 'I can confirm that once you have renewed the licence at the age of 70, you will need to renew your implied entitlement every 3 years'.So, it is renewable every 3 years rather than annually as implied by their website.Posted: 2 November 2017 4:58 PMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?Epic contributorPosts: 1889. Billggski - 2017-11-02 4:58 PMTheir website refers to hgv / PSV licences needing renewal every year, which is the confusion.C1 renewal refers to '70+' on their information page, not just at 70.Yes, the timings for a C1 licence renewal are different for drivers who passed their tests before or after 1 January 1997.Much of the confusion is, as you say, that the official websites mention only lorry and bus drivers under C1 and that leads to us to think that there are different requirements for us motorhome drivers.
But the difference is really whether or not you have 'grandfather rights'.Those who do need only to renew at 70 and for 3 years at a time whereas those who don't need to renew at 45, 50, 55 and 60 and then annually from 65.Posted: 3 November 2017 12:26 PMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?Location: Gatwick. Rapido 987 M. Now a VW Nexa. Don't know if this will help, but in case fesspark or anyone else is still unsure of the answer I recently posed a similar question to DVLA.I have held a full UK driving licence since before 1/1/1997.

On reaching 70 in 2013 I decided to retain my 'grandfather rights' to drive vehicles exceeding 3.5 tonnes (specifically C1), as I was then driving a motorhome in that category. In 2016, on renewing the licence, and no longer requiring this entitlement, I decided not to maintain the C1 category. I am presently changing vehicle, and suspect that I may need to increase the MAM of the replacement to 3,650kg. Before doing this I shall obviously need to reinstate my C1 entitlement. Is this possible by making an application for a new licence including C1, with the relevant evidence of medical fitness (D4), or shall I need more?The DVLA reply:'In order to renew your C1 entitlement, you will need to complete a D2 application form and a D4 medical report.These can be ordered here.
So it seems, Stuart, but I didn't know that until it was confirmed to me by DVLA, so I didn't want to give fesspark an answer based on speculation. After all, what seems logical at first sight is no guide to what government ends up authorising! I didn't want to lure the chap (or anyone else) into paying £100 for the medical, only for him to be told after he'd applied that it doesn't work like that!Posted: 22 November 2017 1:23 PMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?Pops in from time to timePosts: 104Location: Rapido V68. Gdf - 2017-11-22 1:23 PMMy earlier response would suggest that even if you didn't keep your C1 entitlement at 70 you only need to have a medical and complete the forms BUT your earlier advice to contact DVLA is the answer for anyone not sure.I would add do it by email and save the response just in case.DaveI chose not to maintain my driving-licence C1 entitlement when I reached age 70 in 2014.I recently asked the DVLA to tell me what the procedure would be should I want to reinstate the C1 entitlement when (if!) I reach age 76 (ie.
Having not held the C1 entitlement for six years).The DVLA has confirmed that the normal renewal procedure (D2 and D4 forms) would apply irrespective of the length of time I had not held the C1 entitlement.Posted: 22 November 2017 3:49 PMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?Location: East Sussex. Motorhome: Knaus Boxstar 600 Street. The requirement for a medical to renew of professional HGV-type licences (i.e. Categories C and D) for lorries, buses and minibuses is every five years once you reach the age of 45 and every year once you reach 65. For C1/D1 (non-professional) licence categories it's every three years from the age of 70.What isn't clear perhaps is if professional HGV drivers can swap their C or D licence for a C1/D1 (eg when they retire from professional driving and still want to drive a big MH) and so reduce the frequency of medicals to three yearly. Logically that should be possible.Posted: 23 November 2017 4:13 PMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?Epic contributorPosts: 1098Location: The Lot.
Before I retired I was a chauffeur, and had to have a medical every 3 years to get my private hire licence. My GP was always able to fill in the forms for me at the normal cost, but I have had some fairly serious heart problems in the past which have to be reported on the forms, and every time I was subsequently required to undergo further tests, I think it was called a Bruce Test, to prove that my heart was still OK, and this involved a simulation on a treadmill to walk briskly uphill for 15 minutes under the supervision of a doctor, and my heart was monitered on the machines. When I reached 75 I realised that I was unlikely to be able to complete the test so I retired.

The last test I took cost me £750, and I wasn't prepared to risk failure.at that price.AGDPosted: 23 November 2017 5:32 PMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?Epic contributorPosts: 1889. There seem to be two issues here which are confusing, and the you.gov site doesn't help much.The difference between commercial hgv/PSV C1 drivers' licences which need regular renewals from 45 onwards, and phg (Moho) C1 drivers who can continue until 70 and then renewal every 3 years. Fairly clear.The more difficult one is post 1997 licence holders who then pass the test to obtain their C1 licence.Is this the same situation? Assuming they were born around 1980, the first ones will find out in 2025 when they reach 45.Over 3500kg moho's could become less desirable in a worst case scenario.Posted: 23 November 2017 6:06 PMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?A posting machinePosts: 344Location: Ayrshire. Both the standards and the timings for a C1 licence renewal are different for drivers who passed their tests before or after 1 January 1997. For example, drivers who passed their tests later need to renew at 45, 50, 55 and 60 and then annually from 65 by attending a medical practitioner who completes a form with current stats eg blood pressure etc and eyesight examination. Eyesight requirements are (slightly) more stringent than for those who passed their test earlier than 1997.
It doesn't matter whether you are a 'professional' driver or simply want to drive a motorhome over 3500kg.I think much of the confusion is that the official websites mention only lorry and bus drivers under C1 and that leads to us to think that there are different requirements for motorhomes. But the difference is really whether or not you have 'grandfather' rights. Those who do need only to renew at 70 and for 3 years at a time.
Those who don't need to renew as shown above.Posted: 29 November 2017 11:55 AMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?Epic contributorPosts: 1040Location: West Sussex - 2010 Carthago Chic, Fiat 3.0 litre. Hi,Many here will remember having to renew their licence every year, at a cost of five shillings.
If you didn't renew, you kept your entitlement for 10 years, then lost it.My new next-door neighbour married and moved to South Africa, circa mid-1960s. She divorced her hubby, and returned to UK in the late 1990s. Her UK licence entitlement had expired many years previously, and at that time, a South African licence could not be exchanged for a UK licence. (I don't know if that has changed). She planned to drive in UK on a International Driving Permit, which I am not certain is allowed, as she had become a permanent resident.
And anyway, an IDP is only valid for a year. She moved house again before her IDP expired, so I don't know the outcome.Back on topic. The duration of a licence increased to 3 years in the 1960s, then as DVLC became established, it became until age-70. Licence renewals over age-70 are FOC, and your photo-card only needs to be renewed once (That may have changed with the demise of the paper licence).Medical licences may be renewable at periods decreed by DVLA's Medical Branch, usually annually, or every three years.I had to surrender my licence for three months after they drilled a hole in my head. Once it was returned, they have shown no further interest, apart from the normal renewal every three years, cos I'm now rising 79.
DVLA say I still have moped entitlement, and do not need a CBT, but they recommend that I take the training. SWMBO says 'NO WAY!'
I had cataracts removed from both eyes, and can drive without specs for the first time in 40 odd years. My licence shows me wearing specs, but DVLA say I do not need a new photograph.I do not know if a lapse in holding a Cat.B or Cat.B+E for 10 years will still wipe your entitlement. Or if holding a Cat.B or Cat.B+E, but letting your Cats C/D lapse for 10 years will have a similar result for just those groups.When I worked in DVLC Medical Branch, our instructions were to be as helpful as possible. I see no reason why that should have changed in only 33 years.602Posted: 30 November 2017 8:54 AMSubject: RE: DVLA FORM D2?Gets involvedPosts: 264Location: Hampshire.
