Provisional license + medical condition

[ScoRpio93]

Just wondering if there's anybody who provisional license with medical condition added to it.

And how long did it took to get the license back.

I'm already waiting for 3 weeks, called them in today about my provisional and they've said it will take up to next 3 weeks... not good since I want to do my license before 19th of January

Hi, I have a full car licence and have had for 20 odd years, I was diagnosed with a medical condition that required DVLA notification about 10 years ago. I duly notified DVLA as instructed by my Doctor, they wrote back inside a couple of weeks saying I was ok to continue driving.

Cut to last year I moved Home and sent off my driving licence for the address change - all hell broke loose !! Cue appointments with my Doctor, Neuro and Optician plus multiple forms to fill out. It took approx 4 months to get my licence back, it had a few changes too. The expiry date had been slashed to 3 years (I've since found out this is "normal") and my entitlements had been reduced, namely everything but the car. No more vehicles carrying 19 people with a trailer on !?! The real kicker is my symptoms haven't changed, at all, in the last 10 years, I've been lucky in that respect.

I didn't have my full bike licence, even though I had and rode bikes when I was younger, I never got around to passing the test. Something I'm looking to do now via the DAS scheme, do I need to apply for anything regarding the licence ? I don't remember if there was any bike stuff on it before DVLA butchered it. Do you have to apply to ride a 125cc bike even though I have a full car licence ? I realise if im doing it via DAS I wont be riding a 125cc bike, but will I have to apply for "something"

Cheers, Matt

I'll answer my own question!!

No, you don't need to apply for anything, provided you have a licence book you're CBT and start the ball rolling. I got my test passed last year [emoji106]

I'm now riding a Kawasaki ER6-f and loving it [emoji12]
