How to surrender your driving licence.
If
you have been told by your GP not to drive you can surrender your
licence to the DVLA which removes the need for them to make formal
medical enquiries into your fitness to drive. You can download a
“Declaration of voluntary surrender”
see here
If
at a later date you wish to reapply for your licence medical enquiries
will be made. However, while these enquiries are ongoing, the law
provides cover to drive under Section 88 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
Informing your insurers.
Any
changes about which you have informed the DVLA should also be reported
to your insurers. Your policy may be deemed invalid if you do not tell
them of a change and you would not be covered in case of an accident.
