Hi
I’ve just received my letter saying which doctor to go & see for my medical.
I applied for my licence 9th March 2022. Letter arrived 17th May 2022!!
My ban finished ages ago, but I’ve had issues in my life that I won’t go into!!
I got banned for 20 months & yes I’m an HRO.
I don’t really drink a lot, maybe a couple strong ciders on a weekend. I’ve not drank for a week now. I’m gonna book my medical in a week or 2. I want to have a low score on my
CDT test. After reading 26 pages of comments on here I reckon I’ll be alright in that department!!
I’m a bit worried about dvla contacting my GP. I was on a methadone treatment program for 2 weeks before getting chucked off. I’ve been clean ever since then. That was 18 months ago, there abouts.
I’ll be able to answer no to every question except the drugs questions. So I reckon they’ll be contacting my GP?? I don’t want to lie because if they do happen to contact my GP I’ll be ****ed!!
I’m going to see my GP on Monday 20th May, for other reasons, so I’m gonna ask him about it. The trouble is you don’t always see the same doctor these days, not like when I was younger!!
Can anyone tell me how the medical goes or is it a lucky dip?? It seems to me that it depends on the doctor you see. I’ve got to go to a chiropractor clinic for my medical.
I’m hardly sleeping cos of the worry. I can just see it being a ball ache to get my licence back!!
I’ll give them a low CDT reading & clean piss. I’ve not seen the doctors for anything apart from the methadone 18 months ago & I’m on Pregabalin, been on them for about 5 years. I injured my back in an accident at work. My dose is 200mg twice daily. They don’t affect me doing my day to day activities & I think the doctors will say I’m stable on them. What I mean is I do not abuse them, never have. They help me get out of bed & get to work.
How do I go about proving I’ve been clean from street drugs for 18 months?? I did it at home with no help from the doctors.
It’s stressing me right out!! I’ve been a total idiot…
Any help is much appreciated.
Many thanks
