[QUOTE="english, post: 1130542, member: 262095"] Like other diabetics, i am issued with a short licence. With only 1 year on it :-( EVERY year, i fill in my renewal paperwork on time and as soon as DVLA issue it. EVERY year, my licence technically expires before a new one is issued. I know there is provision in UK traffic law allowing you to continue to drive on an expired licence while medical enquiries are ongoing - but it doesn't look good. What you all may not know, is there is a Ministerial Complaints Team within DVLA that will deal with complaints (on your behalf) from your MP. So if you're hacked off and having problems - contact your MP - they do in some instances carry some weight. Andy [/QUOTE]
