[QUOTE="spaceman, post: 1211678, member: 60947"] the DVLA medical group sent me a letter stating that there wanted me to attend a medical before there renewed my 3 year driving licence.that was due for renewal march 2016. there arranged for me to attend a medical at my GPs surgery, I went had the medical and was asked a question, why do you need a driving licence if you havnt got a car ? I turned around to the GP and said. well at the moment I cant afford a car of my own but I could win the lottery and the first thing ill buy is a car !. he then said well lets hope your succesfull getting your new 3 year licence. about 3 weeks latter I received my renewed 3 year licence. then just over a couple of weeks later. I received a letter from my GP telling me I had to go for a ECG regarding my new driving licence. I checked on-line dvla Swansea rules on driving theres nothing said about any driver . for a car driving licence to have a ECG ? so I didn't attend. a week ago I got a stroppy letter from the GP who do my medical re driving licence renewal. stating that a ECG is requested and if I don't attend the next appointment and if I had an accident I would be responsible and that my car insurance would not pay out ? then it said when you attended your HGV driving licence renewal in march for the DVLA ? it also NASTERLY read you've received 4 letters to date and never attended any . and being your GP I will be informing the dvla medical group . who intern will ban you from driving. honestly what can I say has the power gone to my GPs head.i mean I havnt even got a car .
