DVLA Driving me crazy!!!
Hey guys!! hope u are all well! I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with DVLA. I sent my licence to them in Nov 2011 to advise of my MS and haven't had it back yet!!! I know they are just doing their job but 6 months is a bit ridiculous is it not??? They have repeatedly asked for the same info over and over again and I have done a driving assessment in which the assessor at the hospital said I was fine to drive an automatic car which I am now doing but would like to have my licence back!! has anyone else had these issues? and if its a 3 yr renewable licence I get back does anyone know if ill need to go through the same issues again in 3 yrs time?? xxx
I understand your frustration, it took me six months to get a provisional driving licence - I think it's just one of those things that takes ages!
the first time was the longest and it wouldn't surprise me if it was 6 months back then (this was 12 years ago!) but there is a delay each time you renew the 3 year licence but it was quicker than the 1st application. fortunately i just keep the letter from DVLA saying that i can still drive whilst they make their determination and i diidn't need to hire a car whilst i waited for them to return my licence to me!
