Driving card and diabetes

Hello.

I don't write much but I read you and learn with interest.My case is as follows: I am 68 years old and I have been with diabetes and insulin for more than 40 years, and fortunately I have no sequelae ...... Wood.

I will also take many years with the driving license, (only of cars). Always I renew it I never said anything about diabetes and I never had problems.

The fact is that when I renew it next time I will reach 70 years, (I hope) and I have read there that if it is not declared they can put high fines.

This morning being in a trusted mechanical workshop, I told the boss and told me that I would not have problems, in any case play a role of the doctor, I suppose to say that I can drive.

Has anyone been in this situation?

What do you think?

Thanks and greetings.

Good afternoon, I renewed it last year and I was so clumsy recognized that I had diabetes (it was the first time I renewed since I debuted).Consequence: Validity for 5 years instead of 10 years.But, yes, charging charge you the same even if you have to go renew.
It is also true that a civil guard friend has told me not to complicate me and that I did well telling the truth.That nothing happens in the day to day, but at the time you have to present any part of an accident you can get into trouble.

Hello, the problem of not saying that you have diabetes when renewing the card is not a fine that they can put you, it is that in case of accident the insurance if it finds out does not take over and that is a problem.To renew it the only thing you need the medical report where you say you have good control.In that they do not look much, the last report and voila.

That wanted to say, then insurance grabs whatever it is not to pay.

Therefore, although at first it bothered me a lot, I think it is best to go by right and tell the truth.

If you have more than 70 you at least save the rates.

In general, the renewal of the permit or license requires buying:
The rate is 4.3 of 24.58 euros

For over 70 years the process is free.
If for medical reasons the extension is for a lower period than established, the rates to be acquired will be the following:
Up to 4 years:
The rate is 4.3.4 of 19.67 euros
Up to 3 years:
The rate is 4.3.3 of 14.75 euros
Up to 2 years:
The rate is 4.3.2 of 9.83 euros
Up to 1 years:
The rate is 4.3.1 of 4.92 euros

DM 2 diagnosticado en marzo de 2023.
HG debut 13.2 Última HG: 2024 6.3
AntiGAD : Haberlos,Haylos... pero pocos. NEGATIVO pues.

Hello!I have 37 and since the 18 years that I took it out, I said it was diabetic, because as you say some if you have an accident and it is a consequence of hypoglycemia and such ... "your hair can fall" and effectively the insurance"Wash your hands."
It is (forgive me) a fuck pay every 5 years ... and recognition ... but it is better.

@Cacharro when you are going to renew it, carry a medical report in which you put that you have adequate control and there is no more.Neither supplementary tests, nor special ...

I have never said it and I do them every 10 years.

In a few months it touches me and after reading I am considering saying it.

Although the truth is that I never drive.I don't know.

En 1922 descubrieron la insulina, en 1930 la insulina lenta. ¿Que c*** han hecho desde entonces?

I think it is better to say it. If you have to pay fees, it's Jo ... se.

Hello.I have lived the subject very recently that I have had to renew the card.I have 65, and I always said about diabetes.Medical reports said it was well controlled.So far I have had it for 10 years.From now on I have been told, that by age, only 5 years.So they have renewed me for 5 years, until 70.
In my case, friendship is with the insurance agent.He gave me a advice that I have seen well over the years: to declare the disease, for my own tranquility.

It is my own experience.

All the best.

@Gozoki renewed it last year and it was 55 euros everything.
I didn't say any diabetes, nor can it occur to me.The first time they give it to you for 1 year and then every 5 years.

Everything related to diabetes is backward and demagogic according to whom you speak.

There are known diseases that have no limitations and are worse than diabetes that are very controlled with the media that Social Security offers today.
It seems incredible that my father with 70 years, deaf due to auditory nerve wear, renews him for 10 years (now with 80 touches renewal), without observations !!!!And I are diabetic has so many limitations.

Total, I renewed and said nothing.10 years more and point.The insurance is a lie if you have a whole risk.

@Ruthbia
The at all risk is not as you say.
If you have a whole risk and "cheat" you can refuse to pay your own damages but what you do to third parties have to pay yes or yes.
But once they pay those damages to third parties they can sue you and claim what they have paid based on your "deception."
That is, having a whole risk does not influence anything.
I have worked for many years in insurance.

I never said anything either, but I never had a "fat" accident and I have no experience. Now I think I'm going to declare my illness.

@isabelbota asked my mutual.
So they don't cover you, they have to show that you had hypoglycemia.And today with the sensors, we are covered.
I do not deceive the mutual because they do not test me to hire myself as Sanitas.

The same as by wild animal, in Burgos and Soria it is mandatory to pay an extra but if you have the car at full risk they cover you.
(I took a deer)

Negligence there are many.
I have seen several accidents for stroke, and not for that reason the insurance does not cover you.

@Ruthbia I don't trust the "all risk"
Pagsando what I paid ... being client 15 years paying all the "in them" and when I needed everything it was "small print."
In the end what we are talking about is money ... and business.In the driving license and the same insurance.

The insurer does not ask you if you have a disease, it is true, but they are asking you in the renewal and there you are not supposed to "omit."I do not know if the time comes can be a crime ... because it is not like eg a stroke that is overcome ... is that in the SS is your history and you can have been diabetic for many years and without having made it known to ...
