So, I posted on another thread about my nocturnal hypo seizure a week ago.
The hospital consultant said something about not driving for 12 months, but I phoned the dvla and they said 6 months. Better, but still a bit ****.
Anyway, to confuse me even more, I have the option of surrendering my licence or filling out medical consent forms etc.
Surrendering looks to be more beneficial in terms of reapplying for my licence, ie when I send the d1 form, I can start driving while they process it. The medical forms mean that in 4 months I can reapply, but can't drive until I have received my new license.
Has anyone ever went through this and give me some guidance. I would like to fight it if I can, it's clear that there are steps I can take to ensure no hypos when driving.
Surrendering is like admitting defeat.
Really not sure what to do
