DVLA Medical - Timescale

[nepal]

Just had a letter from the DVLA with an update.
They are now sending a second questionnaire to the GP for more information.
I called the DVLA to ask why as I went through a needless medical inquiry last year and got an apology from them.
I started the process of applying for my licence June 2022, second round October 2023. Is the second questionnaire to decide if it's a 1 year or 10 year?

Timescale so far is 22 months

Testing mine too!

Be interested to hear if there is anyone waiting longer than 3 weeks after giving their sample.

It will be longer than three weeks if the DVLA is awaiting the personal GP’s correspondence to be returned. The medical team won’t make a decision until they have received everything.

You must have been very unlucky to be charged and banned for drunk in charge. I know most police and CPS solicitors hate drunk in charge because it is a really difficult offence to convict for. Invariably a lot of offenders get points on their licence rather than a ban.

They were going to give me 10 points until they found out I already had 3.

The magistrate was going to give me 10 points until they found out I already had 3 points which would of resulted in a 6 month ban.

Tried the 10 points and plead hardship but they were having none of it mainly because of the high reading.

Rather lucky. Had you been 7ug more over, you'd have been looking at a 6 - 12 month ban. Congrats on getting your licence back mate.
