At last! Got my licence back!!!! (1 Viewer)

[Judge Mental]

After 2 months of no driving lisence as when I came of insulin u asked for a normal lisence back and had to go through 2 months of rigmarole

The only reason I was on a 3 year restricted was due to being on insulin for 10 years. So consequently I asumed logically I would get back a normal lisence....dvla do not folloe logic. If they had taken note of my doctor my sugars as well controlled as a non diabetic chance of more eye damage non the same as anyones....ah well at least i have a lisence again i will appeal against this anyway but thought i would share my joy!

Hope none of you experience not being able to drive it's horrible..so frustrating especially when you know there is no resonable reason

Good for you @Judge Mental it's surprising how you miss driving.

Well done Eddie.

Oh b*gger ... I've just realised, I'll get even MORE bombarded about Smart cars now!

Great news.for you ......I'm on a 3 year restricted licence and it's due for renewal next month at the moment I can drive up to 3500kgs but after the letter I received yesterday it looks like I'm going to now be restricted to an automatic.
Good job both the car and motorhome are automatic

@Judge Mental,

Well done Eddie, on both the return of your licence, and on being insulin free now.
Just in time for the start of the touring season, eh?

Happy travels,

Jock.

Good news

 

[Traveller_HA5_3DOM]

Eddie do you mind me asking what you replaced insulin with?

Diet only...Lost 2 stone and never going back again!

 

[Judge Mental]

Oops!

 

[Traveller_HA5_3DOM]

That is outstanding, I know of one person who managed to ditch Metformin tablets by diet but you only normally get Insulin when your Pancreas stops making any of your own Insulin, so very very well done.

I was on so little insulin at the end easy to stop Its such a relief to be off it to be honest and to have my mobility back.. On top of that weathers been glorious here for 3 days in a row!

 

[garjanco]

Keep up the good work

Might be useful for anyone else who has to return licence for medical reasons.
I had to surrender licence for 12 months following a TIA.
The Consultant emphasised requesting return of licence 2 months before the year was up. He said that if you wait assuming the system will react you will have to jump through hoops for months.
I did as suggested and licence was returned month before the year was up with a valid from date dead on the 12 month date. All original categories included.
Good advice or just lucky?
