Looking for advice please help......I lost my driving licence 31st December 2019 due to a seizure I put it down to binge drinking as never drank so much I was honest with the hospital told them I had over 10 pints and a bottle of tia Maria on that night. Consultant said I need to contact DVLA and did about seizure and got 12 month ban. I reapplied for my licence 17th December 2020 and yesterday after several questionaires to me all 6 weeks apart I have now received a medical for a CDT test Included. I’m annoyed as like anyone I like a few drinks a few evenings a week maybe 4 to 6 cans of strongbow just to relax but can do without but friends over bbq in the garden it happens. A wedding, my daughters 30th, an anniversary maybe a few extra drinks. I’m now worried they see needing a drink but I would never ever drink if I knew I was driving the next day, not having my licence didn’t see a problem having a few drinks as weren’t driving.
what happens now.? if I fail the test what will happen? I could understand if I got done for drink driving I would deserve to lose my licence !
I am so scared as I’m also waiting on a new hip so need to drive to do school runs. I even have a letter from my consultant to say he wants my to have my licence and been fit free and off fit drugs for over 12 months.
Any info to settle my mind haven’t had a drink in 4 days. Just feel I’m being punished for being honest ......should I be honest? and say I’m still having a leisure drink with friends and family even though this started 6 months ago didn’t drink for 12 months after seizure.
