Hi new here, apologies if this isn't the right forum to post this.
DVLA have written to me today saying I mustn't drive, following me doing their medical. I spoke to them this morning and my CDT level was 1%, they got confused telling me this as also said you need to be below 1.6%. Then said you drank last summer. So yeah baffling.
As the only appeal is to go to magistrates court, has anyone gone through this? Any advice would be brilliant.
Long story short I have had alcohol issues in the past but for 3 years all good. I've never been convicted, clean licence and as above from what I've been told today passed their medical but am now banned anyway presumably for history and despite my gp saying I'm fit to drive. This all began because I did have issues with drinking but never drink drove, it was because I had a trapped nerve in my neck and dr said don't drive, then due to history DVLA refused to give my licence back, but then did but for a year, hence the medical.
I'm upset and angry and at a loss. Apparently there's another letter being sent that may explain more but in the meantime obv I can't drive, could lose my job as a result etc. Already spoke to my boss and told him which was humiliating and no idea what happens now.
Sorry long and confusing! Basically after advice re appealing the decision. TIA
