my dad is a type 2 diabetic and has been for 30 years - he takes insulin daily ..... the problem i have found is - he was going on about how expensive his car insurance this year - so i said - il sort it dad dont worry - ill look on line - anyway - ive come to a conclussion that he has not reported his diabetes to the dvla " or at least i think he aint" my questions are these -
would there be anything printed on his licence to say he takes insulin and that dvla are aware ?
if he now phones them to tell them - will he be fined ? as its been years.... he didnt know he had to
will he get banned? - he is currently having cataracs done on both eyes " he aint drove for a few months tho" - until he is seeing properly again.
will it effect his car insurance as its due for renewal this month.
i feel he has gotten himself into a pickle without even realising. - he has been insured for 11 years with the same insurance and has never had to renew as its always rolled on each year. it was only this year i decided to look at it because he not working now due to his health.
but his doctor has never declared him unfit to drive.
any advice is grealty appreciated - i really dont know what to tell him as he is very vunrable and wont really know what to do. it has also got my mum panacing too.
please help
