Hey everyone! I’ve never posted on here but this forum has been very helpful in the process so I thought I would share my experience on here.
I was banned from February 2019 - February 2021, I blew almost 90 so classified as HRO. I took the Iam drink driving course in March 2020. Which reduced my ban to July 2020. Advised no medicals because of Covid so didn’t rush with sending my application off
I sent my application off in September 2020. A lot of back of forth with forms from dvla/gp. I have a history of mental health, so had to declare medications, previous treatments etc. It wasn’t until about mid January 2021 I heard back from dvla to book my medical.
Unfortunately I pulled a short straw and the only medical they had was 8th February. I was a bit worried because from booking in my medical and the last time I had drink it would of given me a total of just over 2 weeks since my last drink. I was worried about passing but still went along to my appointment.
So they asked about when did I have a last drink, how often I drink etc etc. I told the truth. I drink every weekend/every other weekend and by the standard of units, you could say it’s a binge drink. Felt around my liver area, was asked to walk in a straight line, one foot in front of the other, and asked to read a sign on the wall. I was advised 3 weeks and I’ll receive my license
Fast forward until preset day. I didn’t hear anything for while. I emailed Tom as per everyone’s advice last week sometime and then on Friday last week I received my license and My cdt results which came back as 0.6%. They all came on the same day.
Any advice on car insurance?
