what do you mean the law of it, the dvla have strict guidlines on medical conditions,ie level one for normal drivers.level 2 for taxis,hgv and psv drivers and if you have been ill,then restrictions are put on your licence,that is the law,if you want to appeal,you can,but a medical will need to be done by a independant doctor.
I'm diabetic, and I'm restricted to cars and vans/trucks under 3.5 tonnes.
The premise behind this is that if I happen to have a hypoglaecemic attack at the wheel, I'm more likely to kill more people in a HGV than in my Chevrolet Kalos (which is probably true). Whatever your condition is, this will be the very basic reason behind it.
Same reason I can't drive a taxi, etc.
That said, I could have four passengers in my car and drive into a queue of people at a bus stop in my car, but there you go.
If you need further advice, I have the complete DVLA guidelines on my desk (how clear they are though is beyond me)
