CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE:
including stroke due to
occlusive vascular disease, spontaneous
intracerebral haemorrhage, TIA, amaurosis fugax and intracranial venous
thrombosis.
GROUP 2
ENTITLEMENT
VOC – LGV/PCV
Licence refused or
revoked for 1 year following a stroke or TIA. Can be considered for licensing
after this period provided that there is no debarring residual impairment likely
to affect safe driving and there are no other significant risk factors.
Licensing will also be subject to satisfactory medical reports including
exercise ECG testing.
Where there is imaging evidence of essentially normal
carotid arteries Group 2 licensing may be allowed without the need for
functional cardiac assessment.
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Debs

Hiya,
I know I need to look on DVLA site/ phone them – but just
need a quick answer before dashing out.....
Does anyone know what the
standard DVLA restriction on HGV license are for a CVA with one sided weakness
affecting arm (regained 70% and improving) and leg (regained 90%) – senses
unaffected?
The gentleman (in his 40s) had
the stroke at end of December 2010 and has regained his car
license............. is it automatically one year for HGV or
individual?
Cheers,
Catherine
