Voila means "here it is" in French more or less. I have to say that Mrb's post smacks of provocation. I really don't mean to be rude, but if this really is your 4th DD and you're still "trying to dispell urban myths" you either need your head tested or I sincerely hope you will get caught again and this time spend some time in the can so that you can think things through. You drink, smoke weed and take cocaine on top of taking antidepressants which indicates you do have some mental health problems. Letting you drive again is like letting a maniac loose on the streets armed with a gun and a machete. But then again, this is the society we live in. If your story is true, it's not only unfair but worrying and sad.
I called DVLA on Thursday and got to speak to a supervisor after speaking to yet another clerk, who admitted that "it is taking a bit too long!". Got details of their Complaints Unit and the name of the person who is in charge of that unit. They wouldn't give me my blood test results over the phone - I would have to write to them (and we can all guess how long this would take...) I said I was quite amazed as according to the Data Protection Act etc. I should be able to have full access to my details, but the supervisor said they needed something with my signature on it to disclose information! As I didn't have access to a fax machine I just settled for the details of the Complaints Unit. I have also asked them what it was they had written to my GP about and could they read me their reply and she said this would have been a questionnaire similar to the one I had to answer myself at the time of my medical. Of course she couldn't say why this is all taking so long either.
Anyhow, she said she would pull my case out of the queue for a 48 hour turn around and when I call them on Tuesday I should be able to know the end result of this sorry mess. I still can't believe this will be it, but will let you know of course, cos this time it really should be a yes or a no.
