Hi to everyone on the forum! I've been browsing drinkdriving.org for quite some time and thought id come and seek some advice.
Basically, i have just received a letter from the DVLA stating that i am a High Risk Offender and need to take a medical examination and that my ban ends 28th december 2013.
Never actually heard of this before but i don't mind taking it if it means i get my licence back!
So i just wondered, the letter says i should send off my application now with 90pounds, i don't actually have the money just yet so would waiting till the end of the month or so be okay until i have enough money ?
Also, I'm pretty sure i SHOULD pass the medical as I have never been to/or spoke to my doctor regarding any Alcohol problems or any dependency of alcohol however, i do drink almost every weekend, especially because i haven't been driving and its that time of the year for me that there are alot of parties, leaving dues etc.. So would a weekend drinker cause concern to a dvla examiner ?
Oh and 1 more thing, if i d take the medical, pay the extra 90pound payment and fail, will i get a refund or be able to take the examination again ?
Its a shame that this has to be done as I can honestly say i will NEVER drink drive again, I understand where this is coming from but i hope my weekend drinking hasnt damaged my liver so that i cant get my licence back !
Would REALLY REALLY appreciate any replys!
Thanks alot in advance!
