Morning all,
I'm just wondering if anyone is in the same situation as me regarding driving licence renewal?
I posted off my renewal form and the reply from DVLA was I needed a medical examination before a new licence is issued. Because of Covid there's a delay of DVLA organising an appointment. I thought this weird as I can get an appointment at my surgery.
I phoned the DVLA to confirm they would do the organising of the appointment, correct but they couldn't say when it would be.
They said that I needed to let my doctor know I was fit to drive according to the criteria in the Road Traffic act section 88.
I found this odd, and don't know whether the doctor decides if I'm fit to drive or I just tell him.
My licence runs out 2nd Oct. I did learn that if I am fit to drive, I can do so even if my licence has run out
Thoughts anyone please?
