Dr10 ban

Hi I'm a little worried I changed my address and received a new licence. I thought you had to have a medical before you got your licence back after a dr10 ban. Is this normal or have they made a mistake?

You should always inform the DVLA of any change of address. There is technically a fine for failing to notify the DVLA of this new info.

If you are currently serving a ban, I would simply contact them immediately and get them to update your details over the telephone.

If you do fall into the HRO category, they will write to you when the ban is due to end, so you need to make sure your personal info is up to date.
