As a medical professional, I would advise that after experiencing a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), also known as a mini-stroke, it is crucial to follow the guidelines provided by the relevant authorities in your country. In the case of the UK, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) stipulates that you should not drive for at least a month after a stroke or TIA.
During this period, it is important to focus on recovery and to have regular check-ups with your healthcare provider to assess your progress. After the first month, if your doctor determines that you are fit to drive, you may resume driving. However, if you still have any remaining symptoms one month after the episode, it is necessary to inform the DVLA.
It is essential to prioritize safety and to ensure that you are not at risk of having another TIA or stroke while operating a vehicle. Always consult with your doctor before making any decisions regarding your ability to drive after a TIA.
The UK DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) do not allow you to drive for at least a month after a stroke or TIA. After the first month, if the doctor agrees that you are fit to drive, you can do so. There is no need to notify DVLA unless you still have any remaining symptoms 1 month after the episode.
