I am a 66 year old with T2 (controlled with tablets) and worsening peripheral neuropathy of the feet,
I am getting unhappy about being able to drive safely.
I already have a car with an automatic gearbox. I need to be able to drive since I am single & live on my own,
in a small village with poor public transport links - I need a car to go shopping, doctors etc.
I will be contacting a local company to sort out fitting of hand controls for brake and accelerator
I want to sort out informing DVLA - should I talk to my doctor first?
What is the procedure for informing DVLA and are they likely to revoke my licence at all (albeit only for a period)?
I have to renew my driving licence anyway in March 2016.
What I would like to to do is to have everything in place so that when I contact the DVLA I will be able to do so
without losing the use of my car for any period.
Has anybody any experiences or advice?
