Yes I think it's absolutely disgusting how they are treating people, I mean people are serving their punishment only to be met with another ban and when I mean ban DVLA take months to do their medical investigations that's a ban in itself and then told to do another possible 12 months, there is no information from the DVLA regarding their requirements for regaining your licence back and people are left behind and to try and put the puzzle together with the help of this forum, but jamdpa is right DVLA are changing the rules all the time and it is getting worst, as for example dependant now means NO ALCOHL EVER where as before they would accept upto CDT of 1.6 so you could have a tipple'special occasion' but what I have found is that DVLA panel meet every April and October for their minutes meeting and this is where and when the changes occur where they already have, going back six years, no alcohol , I bet any money it won't be long before they randomly select misuse/dependance drivers for medicals to catch people out.....
