I know it's been discussed loads of times but just read this info in the DVLA web site:
Driving before your licence is returned
Once DVLA has received your valid application you can drive before you receive your licence as long as you:
I am going to give them a ring and find out more but at the moment it looks like I can drive while waiting for medical. Am i right?
Driving before your licence is returned
Once DVLA has received your valid application you can drive before you receive your licence as long as you:
- have held a GB or Northern Ireland licence issued since 1 January 1976 or another exchangeable licence - ok for this, licence is from 2004
- aren’t disqualified from driving (there are different rules for medium or large vehicles, minibus or bus drivers - the traffic commissioner for your area will decide whether to grant your entitlement to drive these vehicles) - my disqualification ends in three weeks, so does it mean I am not discaulified any more?
- haven’t been refused a licence for medical reasons or for failing to comply with medical enquiries - no
- wouldn’t be refused a licence for medical reasons (if in doubt, check with your doctor) - hope not
- keep to any special conditions which apply to the licence
I am going to give them a ring and find out more but at the moment it looks like I can drive while waiting for medical. Am i right?
