Hi All,
I was convicted of a D/D offence about 13 years ago. I recieved a 1 year ban and 100 pound fine. Close to when the ban was up had letter from DVLA inviting me to apply to get my Licence back after taking a medical. Never took them up on the offer and never replied to them. So i havent driven for a number of years. A couple of years beforehand i was driving with a friend in Glasgow and was stopped driving a hire car in the early hours in the morning. Usual roadside check with a car search. Upon which 2 grams of cannabis was found. On giving my details to the Police, the month of my date of birth didnt match what they had, so to avoid charge i agreed what they had was mine. So far fine. Released on on my way with a HORT1 to produce in 7 days. Problem was the DOB of my bonifide licence didnt match with what was on the HORT1, so after consideration about charges from drugs and possible I.D i sent my Licence off to DVLA stating it had the wrong DOB. To my amazement they actually changed it and i had it back with in 10 days and produced the stuff for HORT1 and that was that. So how do i go about sorting this out and getting a Licence back. For reasons as you can imagine being older with good job i dont wish to be doing a stretch on HMP. Bit of a mess...... Any one any thoughts (".)
