My medical is finally booked for February 3rd.How long does it typically take once the medical is done?
Hi guys
Wonder if anyone could tell me what would trigger the request for a urine test? do the dvla have access to criminal convictions or just my medical record? I was caught with a small amount of cannabis 4 years ago. It was disposed off by fine from the PF so it's supposedly not a criminal conviction. My doctors have no record of drug or alcohol misuse.
I'm not a regular smoker but i have had some over christmas and new year and i'm now overdue a medical appointment as i'm supposed to get my licence back in a fortnight. Not heard anything regarding the medical whatsoever, is this normal?
Thanks in advance.
Nope, no "cover note" from GP will help you. If you don't want to do the medical then you can't drive. Simples...Hi all,
Im trying to hold on to my licence and did book to do my medical but now I have a trial day Ive canceled the appointment. It was to far for me anyway.
What I need to know is this, it says if not dine in 12weeks I will be revoked or what not. Im planning to be off the rd for the 12th week but want to know if there is anyway I can try keep my licence a few more weeks as my trials in June.
Could a cover note from Drs for vuberable ir shielding or even covid symptoms get me a few more weeks or better still a way to argue to get the medical close as they want me to do a 100 mile round trip.
Thanks in advanvce for replies.
Hi there, am I reading that pdf list correctly there are no DVLA doctors in the Whole of Surrey and 1 in the next county along Sussex? Oh man I haven't got a chance...There are some doctors still doing DVLA medicals.
Have a look at this list of doctors:

SOME, not all of them are DVLA approved for your type of medical. Find one near you and ask if they have any appointments available.
Then get in touch with DVLA and tell them what is available to you. If they say no, ask to speak to a supervisor or you will escalate it to a complaint.
Well don't be chasing today, your blood will still be warm in the test tubeJust had my medical. Not sure when to chase though
Hey I’ve got my medical coming up soon, what questions did they ask you?Just had my medical. Not sure when to chase though
Hey guys, couple of questions if you don't mind?
I sent my application off last week, how long does it usually take to get a response?
And also, I know one of the questions you are asked is about wether you have had an accident in the last three years due to alcohol. I crashed while over the limit, but can answer no to the rest of the questions, will they not give me my license back because of this? Providing I pass the CDT test which I'm positive I will anyway.
Cheers
Thank you very much for the fast reply, that's great news, of course I'd like my license back sooner rather than later as I'm spending over £100 a week on taxi's for work currently. Play silly games, win silly prizes and all that! But as long as it's likely I'll get it back first try, I don't mind waiting, it's already been over two years so a couple more months is livable!Can't say how long, usually a letter to book medical within 3 weeks but when you will get an appointment is anyone's guess. Also most people on this forum have accidents when banned and have to answer yes to that question. As long as you have a good CDT and no history of alcohol problems it won't be a barrier to you getting a licence.
