Please can we move away from saying things that are not the Law.
Beachball, imo you must be guided by your doctor. If you go direct to the DVLA the person you speak to will be reading a script and have no knowledge of your personal circumstances. You may well end up being told you can’t drive when your doctor will say otherwise.
As for the rest this is what the RAC say. Other venerable bodies say the same. Please no more panic!
Is it illegal to drive with headphones on? Are you allowed to drive 10 percent over the speed limit? Is it illegal to drink, smoke or eat while driving?
