How to get a pco licence?

How do you get your driving licence back if it is revoked due to medical reasons?

  • I'm currently in the position of losing my driving licence because of medical reasons. When i first got my driving licence i didn't have any medical problems. I don't drive much, if at all, and use my licence mainly for ID. My licence was up for renewal so i filled in the form. I was honest and informed the dvlni that i had type 2 diabetes and some psychiatric problems. I got a letter back saying they needed a report from my GP to see if i'm capable of driving. My GP sent a report saying that i was capable of driving even though i had psychological problems. He didn't see why i shouldn't as long as my meds are under control and i have a few refresher lessons to help me get used to driving again. I thought that would be it and the DVLNI would issue me my driving licence. Not the case though. This morning i received a letter from the DVLNI saying that they now needed a report from my consultant psychiatrist to see if i was fit to drive. So i see my shrink on monday and will discuss things with her. What happens if the DVLNI take away my licence on me? How do i get it back? Do i have to reapply for a provisional licence and have to do theory & practical tests again? Or if i deemed fit to drive do they just reissue my licence? I passed my theory test 1st time round but i took me 4 times to pass my practical. I couldn't go through all that again. I do intend on driving in the future but i know i'm not able right now. A part of me wishes i lied on the form and said that there was nothing wrong with me. I don't want to lose my licence. Ah well, any help would be good.

  • Answer:

    I know what you mean. I went through 6 strokes, none of which were debilitating. I also take an anti-depressant. My doctor thought it would be a good idea if I took a "courtesy" driving test (one in which there is no pass, but they can yank your license if they think you've failed). We pulled away from the DMV, and at the next corner, I started to turn left on a green light when a guy ran his red light, and nearly T-boned us. I got my car sideways soon enough for the guy to slide by. The examiner said if my reflexes were good enough for that maneuver, that was good enough for her. We went around the block, and back to the DMV. Type 2 diabetes isn't a good enough reason to yank your permit, provided it's controlled, and your shrink should be able to cover that end. Mine did.

Failure to notify DVLNI is a criminal offense and is punishable by a fine of up to £1000. If your doctor, in accordance with these standards, has advised you that you should not drive you may wish to surrender your license. You can reapply for its restoration at a later date but you are doing the correct thing for you as well as for others.....

Since you only need a ID, use your passport.
