hi tosh mate..you can drive as from the 1st of april while your medical is still being processed by the dvla..anyone who has told you any different does not know what they are talking about!..the only reason why you would not be able to drive is if your license has been revoked before by the dvla..in this case then you must wait until your license comes through post..Hi Paul,
I went for my medical just over a week ago and my ban expires on the 1st April but I am told I must not drive until i hear from DVLA.
Can you advise me on this please?
Hi tottenham linda..Can anyone advise me on a failure to provide query.
I lost my licence and failed DVLAs first medical when my ban was up as my liver results were significantly out. I had another medical 6 months later and DVLA renewed my licence for one year only. Now that year is up they have decided I need to go for another medical again for more blood tests. They are paying for this medical but can they do this? Surely if I am fit to drive for the one year they renewed my license then I have proved myself to be fit to drive for the future.
If anyone has heard of this before please let me know how you got on.
Hiya, I'm gonna do that ring up DVLA and get the results of my last medical which they gave me my licence back on. But I'm not sure DVLA will supply me with them. Do I have a legal right to them?
No one I've spoke to has heard of only been reinstated for one year either. They seem to make up the rules as they go along.
I will let you know what happens.
hi lynda.Hi Paul, I rang DVLA today and they told me I have to put my request in writing and then the doctors will consider it.
I had a blood test 2 weeks ago with my GP and my gamma gt was high at 160 and my ALT was just one point over. I haven't drank since and I aint booked my medical yet with their doctor. I have to have an appointment booked by next week but Im leaving it as long as poss so that my gt will come down. Any idea how long it takes for these results to come down?
I'm really p.......ed off that I have to go for another medical after they let me drive for a year. I feel like DVLA have still got a hold over me even though I served my ban!
