Blood pressure

[Robert P]

Anybody know what BP levels the DVLA accept for C1 licence?

179/99 is acceptable

180/100 needs a doctors ok.

The DVLA limit on blood pressure is 179/99, which means that if you consistently have systolic blood pressure of 180 or more or diastolic blood pressure of 100 or more, you do not meet DVLA group 2 standard.

Guidance says they are unlikely to approve applications where BP reading is consistently over 180/100.
