So confused ...
I was convicted of a DR10 in the year 2000. Was banned for 2 years. had to retake my test and in 2003 had a new license after passing my test all over again.
Have driven for the last 12 years with no issues at all. In fact only ever got 3 penalty points in 12 years of driving!
My DR10 was a monsterous mistake that i made when i was 20 years old.
Now fast forward to today. In October 2014 i sent my license off to renew a photocard etc ... have been chasing it up ever since and was told before christmas it had been issued and was on the way to me.
Now i have got a letter from DVLA saying i have to have an HRO Medical in order to get my license back from them !!! I phoned them saying surely its a mistake as my conviction was 15 years ago !!! they said, no they want me to take the medical as they should have made me take it in 2003 when i re-applied for a new license.
Is this right ? how can they make me take a medical for something that occured 15 years ago ?? i dont see how its relevent at all.
any advice would be massively appreciated
thanks
