I am a type 1 diabetic with a three year driving licence. I tried to renew my licence before Christmas. I completed the form on line and received a letter saying the DVLA want me to have an eye test at Specsavers and I would be contacted when lockdown restrictions are lifted. My licence ran out on 07/02/2021 and I am afraid to drive because I do not have a valid licence. l provided details of my hospital consultant and expected him to be contracted for up to date accurate information about my eye condition and sight. My diabetic control is good and I am on a long established course of treatment for my eyes.
I would really appreciate any advice and help from anyone else who has experienced this.
Thank you
David.
