Re: Revoked driving licence on medical grounds

Did the police take any form of blood or urine for testing to determine fitness or unfitness to drive?

Re: Revoked driving licence on medical grounds

No you can ask them direct to reconsider & it is the DVLA that arranges the assessment

This http://www.dls.org.uk/advice/factshe...0(revised).pdf suggests they MAY reconsider.

s100 of the Road Traffic Act 1998 sets out the route of appeal.

Precisely they'll consider. A bit different from applying to the mag court per se

The law says otherwise, but as I made clear, I don't know what their practice is on receiving notice of intent to appeal.

Re: Revoked driving licence on medical grounds

Thanks for the replies ,I have got a Drs appointment in the morning as he told me a few weeks ago that my licence would be ok . Righty you are right it was all caused through a family rift that had been going on for a week or so the family member who informed the police of his accusations also did the same thing 4 days previous while I was on my way home from Preston ,and while I was on the motorway i was T-packed by three police cars and was told there was another one further down the way just incase I didnt stop and they had a stinger waiting .Police were not very happy for the lies told by this family member wasting police time .i have had no contact with family member for 3 yrs so don`t know why they have now all of a sudden started this up .

No blood test or urine test only had to blow in one of those machines for alcohol test and as I don`t drink that was zero

Re: Revoked driving licence on medical grounds

What painkillers were taken, please? It is not for the police to decide whether you are unfit to drive. That is for the courts. A roadside breath test following a Road Traffic Collision is normal procedure. However, it can only be used to determine if a person has consumed alcohol. Any suspicion of driving whilst unfit through drugs would be subject to a blood or urine test.

Re: Revoked driving licence on medical grounds

The pain killers were co-codamol prescribed by DR ,and the accident was hit and run as the van driver came over into my lane on round about and I swerved to prevent being hit and he still clipped me and drove off .

Re: Revoked driving licence on medical grounds

Thank you blue Bottle ,as mentioned earlier as I was to tired to carry on with my journey I decided to pull into a lay-by to have a rest and this is the out come .

Re: Revoked driving licence on medical grounds

the pain killers are co-codamol that are prescribed by my DR ,the accident wa hit and run the van driver was coming across my lane from the left on the roundabout and I swerved right to avoid being hit by him ,my drivers side wheel got most of the damage and i mounted the roundabout so of course that then cracked the radiator underneath because there is a high curb .But a the end of the day I thought I done the right thing by pulling into a layby in the evening because i was to tired to carry on driving and also having back ache that is why I took 2 pain killers and must have fell asleep in the car .

Re: Revoked driving licence on medical grounds

But the question still stands ,will I have any chance of getting my licence back with my Drs approval as he is quite happy that I am fit and able to drive with no problems ...

Re: Revoked driving licence on medical grounds

The police can decide if someone has capacity (I'm not saying the OP didn't), and the family were saying the OP had said they wouldn't see them again.

That statement is very open to interpretation and I wonder if this is where the issue may have arisen.
