Some Bad News

Hi Martin,

Very sorry to hear the latest development; I fear you may be in a catch 22 situation.

You might want to look again at my post no. 7.

If you can find any reason (as you may already have done) to hold onto your licence; then give that your full consideration.

Getting a medically revoked licence re-issued, is very time consuming.

Regards

Mike

iI Downloaded a fitness to drive form, and will send that off, as long as the medication works, i should not have any more dizzy spells, i'm on tablets one three times a day, and earlier today, i remade the headlight bracket on the lower arm, that involved a lot of bending over, and i didnt feel dizzy even once ,

That sounds better.

Yes it was wording about if medication has controlled / eliminated your condition then the statutory off road period need not apply that I had read, albeit nearly 12 months ago, and that I was eluding to.

Of course, these forms do get changed, hence you can't rely upon someone else's past experience.

I do hope that you can hold on to your licence.

Regards

Mike

Well today i was let down by my friend so i had to drive to the MOT station, happy on two counts, 1 the car passed, and two, i didn't have any dizzyness what so ever, i.ve been fine now since i started on the medication, i know i was taking a risk, but it was on local roads, and if i had have needed to i could have easily pulled over, and i had to know how i would cope .
