Driving and Sleep Apnoea

The DVLA require drivers who are diagnosed sufferers of Sleep Apnoea to advise them of thier condition. You can get information from here.

Many of our members are concerned about getting vehicle insurance, and how Sleep Apnoea will affect premiums. We contacted the Association for British Insurers to get a definitive response. Their advice is that there should be no effect on insurance premiums for drivers who have Sleep Apnoea, who have informed the DVLA and have been given permission to drive. The letter confirming this can be viewed here.
