Hi guys,
Okay last year I made the stupid mistake of driving 1.5 miles at 1.30am in the morning from my mum's house to home. Yes I was over the limit and stopped. I refused a breath test. Subsequently I got a year bank with 3 months off for completing the course.
I received the letter allowing me to drive and have been driving since March.
DVLA, who I telephoned today, have just sent me a letter requiring a second medical.
Right here's the thing. I never go out at night and certainly don't drive normally but I have been partial to a bottle of wine at night. This has increased since my older boyfriend moved in to a bottle and a half. Whilst banned I saw no reason to stop and didn't stop before my medical - rather stupidly.
As I am now addressing the issue, seriously, after realising I may not get my licence back. I intend to start a new life abroad and leave my boyfriend to his own alcoholic ways, as lovely as he is, he is not going to stop drinking and it's not good to be around when I want to change. As I intended to leave shortly, I now have to wait to do the medical again. As I am seeing a specialist clinic next week in London which gets you to stop drinking immediately and no further urges, I just need a bit of advice please.
Given that my last drink was last night, how long should I leave it to have my second medical?
Thanks for any advice!
