You been watching too much Shameless Paul.

 

I wasn't wot I would consider a heavy drinker just a binge drinker at most weekends. I had no idea it was that high no health complaints or anyfin.

 

I rang DVLA today they said my medical is back from my doc and is with their team at the moment but I should hear very soon as my application has been going through since Jan.

 

As I said my results are better than they were when they gave me back my license for a year so I should get it back even if for just a year but you never know with DVLA. God knows wot rules they could come up with now.

cheers liverpool-paul so what if you get a tug by the old bill do they send you a letter or something to cover you til its processed

 

i cannot remember if they send you out a letter or not m8 to be honest, with how long ago it was for me and all the rigmorale that i went through i cant honestly remember..but i got all my insuranse done and everything, until they told me that i had failed..dont worry about the old bill m8..if you get pulled then your license is going through the re-apply process..nothing to worry about, and you can 100% DRIVE WHILE WAITING FOR YOUR DECISION>>:)

Just rang them. details are on the screen but the medical board have not yet advised them of a decision. I am to ring back in 2 weeks if I have not heard anything.:confused:

 

It is difficult not to read between the lines and think there is a problem but I pressed the guy and he assured me that it didnt mean there was. just a backlog.

 

aaaaaaaaarrrghhhhhh.

 

anybody know what the timelines are for a failure or a successful result?:?:

It's about 3 weeks. That's what the doc told me at my medical and fortunately just over 3 weeks later my licence got sent through the post.

 

On a side note, do you get any results from the medical (pass or fail) or do they just send out your licence?

My last binge was before easter which was quite a heavy weekend but before that was xmas. So I was off the booze for nearly 2 months before my medical. Finger crossed then. I hope they don't renew it just for another year. No one I spoke to has even heard of that ruling. Fingers crossed.

Happy driving in july m8..Drive safe and enjoy, it will be like passing your driving test all over again!!:D:D:D
