I have a M/ home and the weight is 3850Kg........ I will be 70 in a year or so, does anyone know what I will need to do to continue driving this vehicle once I pass 70.

 

[David and Sally]

You need to renew your c1. Others will tell you how.

Thanks Spriddler, very useful.

 

[Riverbankannie]

This guide will help you see if you have any medical issues that woukd require further investigation and reports and therefore delay. It’s quite detailed but worth checking through.

Wow Annie, thats excellent, thanks a lot

Sorry don't understand what you mean by a Snowie?

Perhaps you'd care to enlighten folks you seek help from.

It might possibly refer to hair colour (white is a colour)
I speak as one whose ‘thatch’ has lightened considerably over the years

Ahh that's perhaps an interpretation I'd not considered. Hopefully your right.

Well that's how I read it. Did you think he was meaning 'snowflake'?

or replate at 3500kgs

 

[Two of usI]

Thanks gus......... but not sure how we would do that...... I went to a weigh bridge and came out at 3600...... really don'y want to cut down on our loading..... god forbid that we didn't have a proper coffee M/c &. cupboards full of ' just in case" I am happy to go along with riverbankannie and think I'll pass a medical......... only issue may be alcohol consumption...... do like a glass occasionally and while in France is most days!!!!!!!

Was a thought hence Q for clarification, particularly as the OP was asking for info on the requirements to retain your C1.

Happy to have mistook the wording

Shouldn't worry too much. I think as long as you are almost sober for the medical you would be okay. I managed to get mine last year just after going into lockdown.

 

[joe and sue]

Get the relevant forms now
Get medical booked for 92 days before renewal date
get it sent off the following day
that will then be in the full 90 days before renewal
But don't hold your breath about getting it within that time scale,

DVLA have had mine since beginning of March, still no sign of it.


You can still drive under section 88 of of the road traffic act. but not abroad

Probably meant snowbird, those who winter abroad although not sure what that has to do with the C1!

 

[138go]

We faced this last year. Ultimately, our decision was to downsize. It’s worked out really well for us in so many ways.

Is that because you have medical problem that they have to refer to their doctors?

If not, you really need to get your MP involved in a complaint. I have a clean bill of health and applied for renewal of C1 on 4 May 2021. Got new my licence back in about 4 weeks.
