Which organisation publishes guidance about medical conditions that might prevent someone from driving?
- A The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA)
- B The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
- C The Automobile Association
- D The Police
Why this is the answer
Any medical condition that would affect your driving must be reported to the DVLA Drivers Medical Group or, in Northern Ireland, the DVA Drivers Medical Section. If you have any condition or you have to take any medication that you think might affect your driving, it's worth checking the information available on www.gov.uk or nidirect.gov.uk
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) — DVSA runs the tests and enforcement.
- C
- The Automobile Association — A motoring organisation offers advice, not the official guidance.
- D
- The Police — The police enforce the law rather than publishing medical standards.
Where this comes from
- Driving: the essential skills — section 1
- The Highway Code — rule 90
- NSD

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
