Health declaration for UK motorcycle test (MOD 2)

Module Two test candidates are required to sign a health declaration that effectively ‘self-certifies’ that they are in sufficiently good health to take the Module Two motorcycle test. Driving licence holders have a legal obligation to inform the DVLA of certain illnesses and medical conditions that could affect their ability to drive or ride safely. The Module Two health declaration ensures that the examiner has clarified this aspect of a motorcycle rider’s legal responsibilities.

Aside from these legally asserted rider responsibilities, common sense dictates that good health is something that riders should take seriously. Eyesight, hearing, balance, judgement, co-ordination, muscle control etc., all contribute to safe motorcycle riding. So it’s easy to understand how certain illnesses could adversely affect road safety and could result in a driving licence being revoked.
