Vicky.W Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Two months ago I had bilateral NASAH of frontal lobe during endoscopy. I notified DVLA. On checking DVLA website it says I need "documented normal cerebral angiogram" before being allowed to drive again. My neurologist said a few weeks at time of discharge and nothing was mentioned about cerebral angiogram. I have no neurological problems, no seizures and did not lose consciousness. Do I have to subject myself to this risky and costly procedure? Does the NHS do this anyway - they are already strapped for cash. Shall I just sell my car?

Super Mario Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I'm afraid the DVLA rules are to be adhered to. My advice is to contact DVLA for clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClareM Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I would contact the unit you were treated at for advice as well as the DVLA. There are rules and regulations and the DVLA are notoriously slow but best to get it right than be illegal. Hold off selling the car though ?

Skippy Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Vicky - there is a section on here regarding driving after SAH - take a look through that and you will find more information and maybe some advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimble Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 It goes in your favour that your haven’t lost consciousness (did for me ) if a doctor deems you got to drive DVla will allow you to drive ( advice given to me anyway ) but all the bleeds are different so as somebody said ring DVla they are very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
