[QUOTE="smidge, post: 180349, member: 29301"] Hey Paiste! I've just had to do the same - system stinks doesn't it! Basically, after you fill out the form stating whether you are Type1 or Type2 (I'm neither, so couldn't actually fill out the form properly!) they consult your consultant and then send you their decision in about a month. As there is nothing wrong with you except you use insulin, they will decide to give you a three-year license. However, you have the right to appeal. If you decide to appeal you must let them know very quickly as they only give you a couple of weeks before they null and void your current non-restricted license - after that you would be driving illegally if you continued. If you decide not to appeal, you have to sign the form to accept their decision and send them your current license. Within a couple of weeks, they will send you back a new one with the restrictions on it and a duration of three years. If you accept their decision and take the restricted license, you can continue driving throughout the process. I firmly believe it's discriminatory, but appealing will cause you a lot of cost and hassle and you might be without your license until the appeal is heard. In the end, I'm afraid you have little choice but to suck it up :x Smidge [/QUOTE]
