# Common Health Conditions That Risk Driving Licences as DVLA Cancels 33,000
Drivers need to notify the DVLA about health issues that could impact their ability to drive. Failing to do so can result in serious consequences, including losing their driving licence.
The DVLA has cancelled 33,000 licences this year due to various health conditions. These actions highlight the importance of self-reporting for drivers facing certain health risks.
Conditions that may require reporting include:
