AAA and Driving
There are some pretty strict rules about driving in the UK if you are found to suffer from a AAA. The following information is taken directly from the DVLA website (see link on the right of the page).
For Private Drivers (Group 1)
DVLA should be notified of any aneurysm that reaches 6 cm or greater in diameter, despite treatment. Licensing will be permitted subject to annual review.
Driving may be continued after satisfactory medical (blood pressure control) or surgical treatment, with no evidence of further enlargement, unless other disqualifying condition.
An aortic diameter of 6.5 cm or greater disqualifies from driving
For Commercial Drivers (Group 2, LGV / PCV)
Disqualifies from driving if the aortic diameter is >5.5cm. Driving may continue after satisfactory medical or surgical treatment, unless other disqualifying condition. NB Exercise test requirement will apply for abdominal aortic aneurysm
