Hi there, just found this forum today, very helpful! My girlfriend and I both lost our licenses a couple of years ago, me 3 years for DD and she for six. Months drunk in charge ( I know! Long story!) after all the medical rigmarole ,she got hers back ( two months later than it should have been) but a temp one for a year, this could have been because of enlarged red corpuscles ,we know this because she had an independent test at the hospital the same day for peace of mind but the doctor said this was to do with vitamin b12 deficiency due to something else and not alcohol. I was just going to say just before that ran out the DVLA sent a form for a new one and she didn't have to do another medical plus it was free, saying that the new one is also only for a year so we'll just have to see this year!
i just wanted to ask if anyone here has done the steer clear course as I'm booked in in a couple of weeks, does it help with the medical etc?
Also I went to the doctors about 18 months ago depressed and drinking too much and he helped me stop but I was thinking of not mentioning that on the questionnaire and maybe asking my doc not to mention it either? Any thoughts anyone?
thanks in advance
