Revoked22
New Member
I hope I'm posting in the right section of the forum, I'm completely lost as to where to post. I found this forum through the reccomendation of a friend of mine who was caught drug driving.
Basically I'm a student and I seen my gp in late November with a chest infection, he asked how much I drink a week and I told him around 20-24 units. (it's actually a bit more because I'm a student and I go on maybe 2 nights out a week, normal stuff for someone my age but I didn't tell the doctor that just said 20-24) I thought nothing of it and had completely forgot about it until today, when a letter arrived on my parents door step to say that I was revoked for 6 months for misuse and I would have to show proof of controlled drinking?? It seems my GP has taken it upon himself to inform the DVLA that I was drinking 24 units a week. My question is, how am I supposed to prove controlled drinking when my drinking is already controlled, I don't have a drink problem, I'm 22 for f**k sake. Also how can my doctor report me to the DVLA for this I thought you were allowed to drink 21 units a week as a male, my GP didn't even take bloods.
