[QUOTE="mo1905, post: 490123, member: 55195"] I was able to drive cars but not LGV until paperwork/medical sorted. It is a long process. I had to have medical with my own consultant and fill out paperwork but I still had to have another medical with DVLA appointed specialist because they don't consider your own consultant "independant". The nearest DVLA doc to me was well over an hours drive away. Hopefully, should be easier next time around. The medical wasn't easy either, I was questioned a lot on all DVLA guidelines regarding insulin/testing etc and he went through every single reading on my BG monitor for the last 3 months. Make sure you are aware of all DVLA rules prior to medical. [/QUOTE]
