Positive posts are whats missing! Yes we've all made a mistake, that why we are all on here. But we are all not alcoholics, depressed, drug takers, multiple offenders and downers on people's mistakes.
good luck to anyone that's getting towards the end of their banHi Mate, do you know when you send your application off and when your medical was? I sent mine off late nov/ early dec - had my medical March 7th but still not heard back
Well I sent mine off early June 2021 and had my medical 26th of September and checked online on the DVLA licence checker everyday and received my licence back 12th of October 2021. I know its difficult to get through but ring the DVLA to check they've received all your results/questionaire from the doctor that took your medical.
Thanks for the speedy reply! Ah ok, you were way earlier then! I only asked as someone on here applied in Oct, had their medical after me but got their license back already. Have rung up and they’ve got everything, just waiting on the medical team to get round to going through results etc, been checking DVLA license checker too!
If they've received everything, not be long till you hear. Well check 10 times a day everyday online! What I did and its was the best feeling when I read a licence was issuedThanks for the speedy reply! Ah ok, you were way earlier then!

not to put a downer on it but you don't want to receive a letter from the Dvla before your lience is issued online. good luck!Hi malina, read through your replies on this thread and must say you seem to have a very casual outlook. Both you and your partner have been done for Drink driving and partner twice. I did it for over 25 years without a care in the world and in the end i got caught and deserved to be punished (Blew 135) 2 year ban. It took me 3 years to get my licence back and i failed the medical first time because i had a gun ho approach to what is required to pass a strict medical for good reasons. I seriously watch what i drink these days if i need to drive/Ride motorbikes as i value and intend to retain my licence. No offence meant in any way but the reason this forum comes across harsh at times its because we are very honest amongst the longer members who help no end with each and everyone who comes on hereI totally agree it does make you worse but I also think the worse cases are on here,, my partner a year ago had the hro medical,, put it this way judging on what's on this forum he shouldn't of got a 10yr licence back but he did,, they didn't contact his gp although he's never been to the gp so there's nothing there,, said he drinks in the guides but didn't abstain just cut down a bit right before the medical didn't have a low cdt score but obviously just made it.. When he was banned the second time his breath reading was so high he had community service and tagged and he seemed to sail through the medical with no background checks so who bloody knows,, anyway Andrew I also have my medical tomorrow so best of luck to you, let us know how you get on
Hi,, no offence taken, I must say I really haven't been casual about all of this, since I lost my licence the second time it really did wake me up and barely drank since, only on occasions,, its the person I live with who has a very casual approach I'm just trying to keep calm and think positive..Hi malina, read through your replies on this thread and must say you seem to have a very casual outlook.

Nice reply keep safe.
That’s great news Andrew, congrats! Have you got a rough timeline of Application, medical and receiving confirmation?Well today, I received one of the best things in the last 2 years. A letter from the DVLA to say my medical came back as 0.6, I'm deemed safe to drive and my licence is on its way. Even went looking at cars today.
I'm so happy this whole sorry, self inflicted affair has come to an end. From battling drink, depression, you name it...to coming out the other side a wiser, stronger, healthier person. Wouldn't have been able to get through it without Jesus. Onwards and upwards now. All the best to you guys, need any help just ask
Yeah this is off top of my head now, but it was roughly
Wow that's super quick! Lucky youuuu!! Was waiting for your update mate! Thanks for sharing, you've given me hope! Super happy for you
Mate I am surprised aswell, but I also managed to get through on the phone, so I think they are getting on top of things now, in my opinion. Lots of prayer has helped tooWow that's super quick! Lucky youuuu!! Was waiting for your update mate! Thanks for sharing, you've given me hope! Super happy for you
Wow sorry bud, but now your medical is booked, I'm sure it will fly through
I know mate it's tough to have it hanging over your head. But the utter shame and embarrassment at the beginning, I wouldn't tell anyone what I'd done. Now I dont mind, I tell everyone, in the hope it night help someone else, as I wasnt arrested I was rescued
