You should have been more to the point, then, rather than repeating what has been said already and having a dig at an imaginary man.
"you know during those medicals I can’t define very well."Oh I was totally on point when it counted, you know during those medicals I can’t define very well.
Which is I guess why I have a full license again but if you’re still unable to understand me that’s not my fault.
Good day.
I’ll see him next Tuesday.
Hi CJ, I can't really agree with you about medical process being very black and white. I've been sentenced for drink driving back in december 2020, when I attended court they told me that I have 2 years ban and I've been classified as a high risk offender and that I will have to do medical when my ban will end. I have done drink driving awareness course so my ban was reduced to 1.5 years which expired July 2022, then I was waiting until October for medical to get it done. No one ever told me, not the court, not DVLA that they will require a further investigation about my medical past and that I have to be abstinent, not a single mention. Also I didn't even know that if you say to GP that you are depressed and drink beer after work that they will classify me as a dependent. After receiving letter from DVLA that they wrote to my GP for further information I googled what that means and came across this forum, othewise I wouldn't know anything about the process, DVLA don't mention any of that, obviously I wouldn't mention during my medical examination that I had a social drink in June if I would know all that beforehand. I registered last drink date and doing LFTs only because I found some helpful information here from you guys, unfortunately a bit too late.
DVLA revoked my driving licence 10th December based on a letter(which was sent in 2020 referring to 2016), I’ve sent my application form back in 2022 April! Saying the guidelines are changed in 2021! Of course there were no information about the magnificent change! So now I’m medically unfit to drive even so I’m driving the last 5 years
Can you expand on this, please?DVLA revoked my driving licence 10th December based on a letter(which was sent in 2020 referring to 2016), I’ve sent my application form back in 2022 April!

It’s quite a a long story but I’ll try my best make it short,hard though as I’m extremely frustrated and angry-so I’ve had a drink driving conviction in 2014 band for driving for 3 years-done,got my license back in 2017 so ever since I’ve got my yearly licence application including a DVLA medical assessment which wasn’t a problem at all the last 5 years! So I’ve been doing this procedure year by year! Now as it’s asking on the form “have you had alcohol dependency for the last 6 years “ said no and put that on my form that I do drink 2-3 units sometimes as I have been doing it the previous years which wasn’t a problem BUT this time my application was rejected as in 2021 guidelines has changed,obviously I wasn’t aware of that so I’m not fit for they new criteria as I was supposed to be complet absence
Jings, that's harsh. Drink driving is silly - I'm sure you don't need to be told - but it doesn't make you an alcoholic.
But my question is how would I know if I even checked the new guidelines on that day when I filled out the form so it means I just should’ve been not tell the truth as the whole year had some drinks as people aren’t checking the guidelines on a daily basis
Yes, you responded too quicklyBut my question is how would I know if I even checked the new guidelines on that day when I filled out the form so it means I just should’ve been not tell the truth as the whole year had some drinks as people aren’t checking the guidelines on a daily basis
but it seems to be that you should lie to your GP, certainly as far as alcohol is concerned. ABSOLUTELY! Don’t ever be honest or truthful! Well done for being sober!!! Keep up and don’t drink EVER
as you will be punished the rest of your life anyway! I’m still fighting though! My Gp has written them a letter but who knows??? It might will take DVLA another 8 months for just digging it out from the pileTo be honest it’s not my Gp’s fault! It’s the way how DVLA system works I believeYes, you responded too quickly
According to your GP, you should live as a nun or monk.
Yup...ABSOLUTELY! Don’t ever be honest or truthful! Well done for being sober!!! Keep up and don’t drink EVER
It is but they'll almost always contact your GP.
I do agree! Changed my life,working for AGE UK, old ladies are relaying on me but I can’t bloody drive as they are telling me I’m unfit to drive as guidelines changed and having a few glasses of wine making me an alcoholic
My gp has written them already as he couldn’t understand it either! To be honest the whole case is so confusing and in my belief the decision is extremely harsh and unfair
Plus DVLA told me that it’s not 6, it’s 7 years for some magical reason??
