Hi,
As the title states my 28 year old friend had some trouble sleeping 3 years ago and started smoking cannubis,. He told his GP to get help to sleep and his GP obviously told the DVLA who then revoked his license for 12 months. He then reapplied, had the medical tests and passed them and they sent him a restricted 1 year licence, every year he goes through this and every time he has the medical he is clear as he doesnt smoke cannubis anymore.
He got the letter in september for the next medical with a dealine of 16th december to get the medical done. He works for the ambulance service, had had to self isolate due to covid twice and the doctor only has one appointment which he cant make because he is working. Theyre refusing to give him an extension on this deadline and say if he cant get the test done he will lose his licence.
How long is this going to carry on for? and will they not have to give an extension due to covid and self isolating? Thanks
