    I hope you don't mean that the doctor shouldn't have told the DVLA about the Epilepsy:confused: I am sure you didn't:D

    . :(
    No not at all :D In fact in my OP the worse thing they did was give it back to her when she hadn't had a fit for 12 months, she then stopped taking her meds as she decided she didnt need them. :confused: Hence 3 car accidents fortunately without the children in the car :mad: :mad: :mad: As far as I know she is still driving but we don't get on and don't have anything to do with each other, puts my brother in a difficult position mind :confused: but i totally agree with your post i wa just trying to show its not always simple :A :T

    edit - just to add on to the rest of your post Poppy, when i was diagnosed with my disabillity i was advised by occupational therapy to inform DVLA which i did do. I still have my license which i am very grateful for but had i been classed as a danger to drive then to be perfectly honest i simply would't want to put myself or others in danger and i cant understand anyone that would :confused: my disabillity was caused through a car accident by a woman who should of had her license revoked, say no more :confused:

    After attending an accident where an 80 year old man ran over his wife with the car in the car park.... I think we don't have some peoples licences taken away fast enough. It takes quite a long time even with police intervention to get a licence revoked.

    HOWEVER, the original question was about selling the car. The answer would be place a free ad in your local paper, this can be done by phone or e-mail in most cases.
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!

    I would like to thank everyone who offer4ed advice re my husbands licence etc.
    He will be able to have his licence re-instated without a test when he is able to prove that he has had at least 3 stable months without any change in medication.The re-issue can take 3 months so that is a minimum of 6 months without driving.
    Our finances are dire but under control,just!Selling the car is our only option.I am now taking that job on board myself.First start I used Autotrader self pricing chart for the general info and printed it off.I then adjusted that price for some damage to the car door based on the price I was given to repair it.I have now put that price with ono on a sticker in the window.The car is in the drive and we do get quite a bit of passing traffic etc.
    I have cancelled the insurance because it was expensive and we need every penny we can get.The car is taxed to the end of August so I have got a SORN form but wont use it just yet.
    I have made a plan for the cash I get so that I have been able to set myself a figure I wont drop below or I might just be tempted to take anything.The car is recently MOTed so that is a plus.
    I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again.
  • I've just had to sell mine for the same reason (epilepsy). A quick tip - if you decide to put it on Autotrader at all bear in mind if you buy a 3-week advert and it sells in the first week you don't get a refund on the remaining weeks. I just found that out :rolleyes:

    seese.Just be careful if you have cancelled the insurance .If youur car was to be stolen from your driveway you will obviously not be insured.
    Best of luck
