Medical at 70 to renew CI on licence (1 Viewer)

[woodstock]

Looking to renew my licence at 70 with the ci entitlement. Which is best place for medical.

I use an Independent GP surgery for £90 because my own GP wanted £130.
I used Tesco's opticians for the eye test-Free

My GP charged £80 and with direct access to my records and personal knowledge completed without a hitch.

Then the eye test, I had glaucoma in left eye and Trabeculectomy op to correct, no problem I thought, joking of course.
I sent application on 8 th August and almost 8 months on following regular chasing , still don't have my licence back.

Wish I had applied for basic licence online , would have been over long ago.

We pay their wages at DVLA and they give an absolute crap service.

You could try these people who will arrange a medical close to home:- Broken Link Removed
I actually used my own doctor who gave me a really good going over.....I thought it would just be a 'box ticking' exercise. Cost £110 but it was thorough and I now know that I am fairly fit.
As I have regular eye tests I went to my usual optician for the visual bit which cost nothing.

Probably the first place IS your own G-P. a lot depends on how you get along with them?. My G-P is very good, when I went for my HGV It was a formality. and now with the "new" Eyes, I can drive without glasses (officially).

Dropped the Class 1 and 2 though, Don't need them in the USA!. BTW how long have they given you until your next assessment? I`ve got 3years on mine but others have said theirs is shorter I know?
