Consultation: I have to renew the driving license and I don't know what to do, if not say that I am diabetic or if to say it.I do not know what are the legal consequences, nor the duration of my new card in case of saying it, or if they are going to ask me special requirements to put it.My diabetes is DM 1. Do I say it or don't I say it?Thank you .
Answer:
Indeed, the fact of suffering from diabetes brings with it a series of limitations, restrictions and even in proven cases, denial ("severe metabolic instability that requires hospital assistance" and/or "repeated paintings of acute hypoglycemia") of the driving permit.
For the renewal of type B permit, with a type 1 diabetes we understand that well controlled and with a favorable medical report, the law says that we are facing a serious infraction when a vehicle is driving with a driving authorization that lacks validity for not having compliedthe administrative requirements required regulation.In this case, the requirements to which we must refer are those of capacity or psychophysical aptitude and the conductor regulations understand that these physical aptitude requirements have to be reviewed every four years, and therefore establishes a validity of four years for the permission ofType B driving for a person with diabetes of your conditions.
Thus, the main differences in relation to a “normal” renewal are:
- The need to present a favorable report of the endocrinologist at the driver recognition that is treating your diabetes in which adequate diabetes control and adequate diabetological education are recorded.
- The renewal will be for four years.
- In the driving permit, a code referred to the temporality of the permit will appear to suffer “organic or functional disease” (104-4)
In accordance with the regulations, if the renewal for ten years is voluntarily urged (which is the “normal” validity), having a DM 1, the administration, the case may be, can open a sanctioning file that entails the imposition of a fine of 91at 300 euros and the suspension of the permit, with the need to issue another in which the validity restriction for four years appears.If you want more information you can check the website of our Friend Foundation www.fucamdi.com, specifically in the section: www.fucamdi.com/ld_diabetes_conduccion.php.php
Other considerations enter into the field of the will and freedom of the individual, metajuridic issues that are not subject to this section because the right is clear for this case in their approaches: it must be said that a diabetes is suffered.
