Re: Licence expired, awaiting DVLA medical decision, can I d

Nobody is telling him that he can drive at all, so far we all informed him that he needs to check with the DVLA..
The problem is, that when LK sent his forms back to have his renewal request back to the DVLA his licence was still valid and it takes about a month for the DVLA to issue you with the renewal on your licence... But in LK's case there's been a delay in the paperwork which has meant that his actual licence isn't showing a valid date! So DLVA may give a temp extension to this expiry date so he may continue to drive, due to the problem lies with them and not him!... But the only way he will find out is to ring the DLVA...
The DVLA once sent back my renewal, which the expiry date was my 70th birthday almost 30 years away :shock:
Theoretically because they had issued it, with full knowledge of my T1 status etc. As long as my medical condition didn't change during that time it would have be legal and valid!
Yes I was rather tempted to keep my licence, but felt that it would be a lot wiser to request the standard 3 year renewal so sent it back and had the dates adjusted...
