Medical assesment experiences

beth.stephenson2009

Hello all,

So I have made a few posts in the past about this "situation". Basically last November, I self referred myself to my local medical driving assesment centre. The outcome was that I needed to drive a automatic with left foot acclerator. I already had my licence so phoned the DVLA who revoked my licence and issued me with a temporary one for retraining in said vehicle.

Anyway, my reassement was Wednesday. Their intial concerns had gone (road position and excessive slowing down) but one stupid mistake at a roundabout (car coming very fast from the right- and examiner had to break) and they told me they would have to put this in their report.

Now they kept telling me this wasn't a driving test- I had passed a driving test and this was more an assesment to make sure I had cover the problems with the road position and speed.

I was just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situ- inital concerns met but worried that a mistake was going to cost them their driving licence??

Its horrible that I have got to wait and wait they said to give them upto 4 weeks to hear from them.

The assesment centre reckon the outcome will be DL back with the codes for adaptions, or that i will get more time for extra retraining but Im really, really, REALLY worried that Wednesday was the last time I ever get behind the wheel

I would love to hear peoples experiences- good or bad.

i know this is a little off ,why did the examiner brake for you,i would have thought your experience was the key ,instead of doing it like a learner or is that what they want ,if its thats, then none off us will pass with out lesons
how long have you been driving before you revoked your license(dvla)

Didn't that cause the revocation?

Have you posted this in the Disability and Dosh forum? There's more likely to be people in there with this sort of experience.
