Default Dvla

Guess what? The DVLA have given me my licence back. I have been unable to drive on the highway since a major stroke in February 2018. People in the know said I would have to take a driving assessment in Leeds but this was not the case.
I had to attend my GP and declare I had never been sectioned, had drug or alcohol dependency or detoxification just because I had been prescribed antidepressants and anxiolytic medication due to my condition when I was discharged from hospital not being able to walk, talk or use my right arm and hand.
I can do all now and hold a steering wheel with both hands and change quickly from accelerator to brake for an emergency stop.
The roads have been heavily salted here in the last week so my ZTs will not be taxed and MOT'd until the Spring. I use my Freelander in the Winter anyway as I live at the top of a short sharp hill.

Adrian

Glad that you have recovered from something so serious and great news you have your licence back. Having a licence revoked is major, you must be thrilled to have it back.

All the best

Great news. Make sure that you get all the groups on your license back as they "stole" some of mine after having a restricted license due to dizzy spells (strangely enough, my "restricted" license included motorcycles!!!).
