Convicted Driver Insurance

Hi Martin,my one year licence is due to expire,dvla have all my correct paperwork,application and medical declaration,and have emailed me a PDF of section 88
The issue is that my gp says although he could do a fitness to drive assessment,he is not allowed by law as it's a dvla medical matter.
As you will be aware my medical is delayed with no date offered yet.
This seems to be a requirement of section 88
After speaking yesterday with the medical team they said they are aware of the backlog and if my condition hasn't got any worse then the onus is on me,and they will contact my GP if they feel necessary.
I'm on the fence with both replies and do not wish to break the law .
Many thanks,Chris

Good Afternoon,

I'm not entirely sure what advice you are looking for but I am assuming you are looking for confirmation that you can drive. Unfortunately I cannot help with this. I completely understand your frustrations but the DVLA are the only ones who can confirm that you can drive and until they do I would not personally take the risk if you want to avoid prosecution.

Sorry I could not help.

Best regards
Martin.
