Just thought I’d give you an update on my situation & timescales.
November 2021, banned for 24 months after blowing 98 at the roadside after putting my vehicle through a hedge. This was a first offence & reduced to 18 months upon completion of a drink driving course.
10th March 2023, D1 application form sent.
8th April, medical letter received.
19th April, medical.
3rd May, phone call from Swansea informing me I’d been granted a full 10 year licence.
9th May, licence received in the post, a full month before my ban is up.
I don’t know whether I’ve been lucky or what, but I’ve found the whole HRO application process fairly straightforward. I hope people can take heart from my experience.
I’ve found the information on this website invaluable over the past 17 months & I’d like to thank everyone who’s taken the time to contribute
