Hello, I wonder if anyone could offer any advice? I undertook my medical on 8th December 2011 and received a letter on new year’s eve informing me that the DVLA had written to my GP. Is this something to be worried about? I have a feeling that my readings maybe borderline? If they were over would I have simply received a letter telling me that I have failed?
Finally, if I do fail has anyone used a solicitor to appeal? I am a drinker, but have worked hard to lower my intake, took regular blood tests with my GP running up to the examination and my levels have been getting lower. I regret my stupidity everyday but find in very frustrating that even if I do drink, it doesn't mean that I will drink and drive again. I have learned my lesson, took the punishment and now I just want to get on with my life. I found it even more frustrating that the doctor said to me that if I took any kind of drugs (I don't take anything at all by the way) that this wouldn't be considered as a negative by the dvla. In other words... if I drink 30 units of legal booze a week I'll be punished, but if I do a couple of lines of coke a day, but don't drink then this is fine!
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
