Hiya when I went to doctors regarding getting my first licence I was honest and told them I had 10 months abstinence, however I was refused and told I had to be abstinent for a full 12 months. As it stands now I believe they expect no alcohol at all fir around 7 years at least that's how it is if your HRO. X

All
I see is 6 years that can check back for misuse & or dependency But nothing to say if you have say 5 years ago you have to remain clean now for 6/12 months Put link up if possible please Concerning as approx 6 years ago I told GP I was drinking above recommended units doesn’t seem right to be punished now for it Although I’m teetotal 29 months and recorded alongside my GP

If you are classed as dependent, they require 12 months abstinence proof. If you are lucky enough for them to reissue your licence then, you will only get a 1 year medical licence. The following year you are sent for a medical again, and if any alcohol has been declared in the previous 12 months your licence will be revoked again. This 1 year medical licence malarkey goes on for up to 6 years, therefore you are technically made to remain abstinent for this whole period. Your mate Dave down the pub who drank a bottle of brandy is one of the anomalies who slipped through the net. Most people who are classed as dependent are told they MUST give up alcohol.

The problem is my friend is getting it back and keeping it, if you are alcohol dependent you can never use alcohol again, it will clearly state on your letter….

What about misuse what’s the difference How do dvla look at dependant and misuse I’ve herd of a doctor you can have a social drink within the gov guidelines of units pw Again if dependant as in a can for breakfast then that’s a different ball game Missuse can be defined in many ways - social drinking is exeptable there isn’t a law in the land to stop you having a pint within the guide lines per unit per male - female pw

You seem to be trying to convince yourself that you are correct so are probably in denial my friend....

Being dependent doesn't mean that you are in B&Q every morning buying Meths. It means that you have a psychological dependence to alcohol. This is not necessarily drinking every day, it can be binge drinkers, those who only drink occasionally but have 1 and have to have more, even those who come home from work and have a small sherry when they walk in every day.

If you know better, then try DVLA out with your theory. If you are classed as dependent (you might not even know they have classed you as this) try telling them you had a Baileys profiterole at Christmas. They will decline/revoke you and ask for proof of 12 months abstinence. After this 12 months, you are expected to remain abstinent FOR LIFE (or at least until a full licence is reissued to you anyway!)

Don't believe me? Read through numerous stories on this forum where people have fell foul.

When you see someone with your own eyes drinking a bottle of spirits the night before a medical and coming of a 4 th ban and pass and get his licence back nothing you say makes sense Simple as that You are probably a binge drinker and a history of alcohol or and drug abuse Because it doesn’t add up your story jusy coz you think it happened to one person doesn’t mean it’s mandatory for every single person Anyway I hope you remain of the poison and sort yourself out
