Hello all, Hope your all fine and dandy

Right history is, 13th Jan 2020 I got caught DD, Blew 147! :-0 Still don't remember getting in the car, still dont know where i was going! :-( Complete meltdown, just lost baby and found out the husband was seeing call girls! :-( Was under an enormous amount of stress, id already gone to the doctors as of this and been put on Sertraline and Propranolol. Was only on the medication 2 weeks after this happened

Court sentenced me for 30 months, tagged for 6 weeks, 12 months probation through women's aid, (didn't have to do community service as my panic disorder would basically mean id be set up to fail) I was in complete bits. plus 10 RAR Days.

My ban was up the 31st Dec 2021. as did the 25% course......Today was my medical and i cant believe the absolute relief i feel tonight that's its all over as it seems its just carried on for like forever!.

Just wanted to say I hope you all get the outcome u want and need. It isn't a nice journey. And one I wont certainly forget

I think it went okay lol U never know do u? I was literally in there 10-15 minutes tops 👀 just a waiting game now
Hi Jem, did you have previous alchol misuse or dependency on your gp records or not ? And did you fill the questionnaire sheet out at the medical with the DVLA doctor ?

Hiya, No misuse or dependency, I filled the questionnaire in the waiting room lol
 
Dave when is your medical
Hi Mike, I'm a HRO my ban ends on 27th of july but I've either got alcohol misuse or dependency on my record, and I've been drinking up until 19 days ago. I didn't realise the DVLA contacted the gp, it looks like if its dependency then I need to have LFT blood tests taken by my gp every 3 months for a year bloody joke hey! Do you know if the DVLA always contact your gp ?

Looking at some post on here..some have their license 15 days after their medicals was done.so really its a hit or a miss with dvla to be honest.like a lottery😂..

Lol.. I'm going to get my medical records, and go from there I think to see what's on it 😉
 
I've been waiting since January, sent the d1 form off then and got a letter asking about my dependency (methadone) sent that off and not heard a thing so rang up to be told its just sat there waiting. So nearly 5 months and still haven't had my medical yet. Luckily I don't drink or use drugs and get a breathalyser and pee test once a month so got that covered, just wish it'd hurry up because this waiting is worse than the ban itself.

Totally agree i think this is the hardest part, along with the actual sentencing itself.....My ban was up the 31st December. :-(
 
" just wish it'd hurry up because this waiting is worse than the ban itself."

At least with the ban you've got a date to aim for. I'm just in limbo right now. Ban ended 12th Feb '22. Still not even got a date for my medical yet. And then who know's how long after that until I get a decision? It's definitely frustrating!!

Rubbish isn't it! Don't get me wrong, I know this situation is totally my own fault, but a ban is a ban. I've served mine. I had plans to drive to Scotland to celebrate getting back on the road, I bought a motorbike to go out riding with my Son. Neither of those things are happening now.

Try your ban being up during the first lockdown… that was like a never ending story (although at least I guess there was nowhere to drive to so meh…)
