Hi All.
I've been reading this forum for some time. I'm due my license back in 3 months after an 18 month ban. The Alcohol Awareness Course I went on didn't seem to know about the CDT Marker as the new sole test performed by DVLA!
I'm after advice really. I realise that some of my statements will not be favourable, but as you've all been here gaining the experience and seeing the results, it would be very helpful and I appreciate the answers I get.
So, my few questions are thus:
I'm a fairly heavy drinker. But as I hadn't been driving, I was putting it aside as something to do. I'd say I'd drink 6 days a week and often at around 22 units a day. That was until this Friday gone 19th Feb. I have now stopped because....
I have now received my application form, which reminded me, it's time to stop.
So I'm reading and unfortunately thought that I'd need 2-4 weeks abstinence, but now reading further, it looks like I could need up to 12 weeks abstinence.
Given timescales and time needed for abstinence - what do you think I should do?
I see DVLA could take 4-6 weeks to write back to me with a GP for the CDT test and then it could take a further 4-6 weeks to get the test. So should I crack on and apply or wait a week and then apply with a cheque?
Any advice is much appreciated.
