Driving Licence Revoked

Red1708

Hi Peeps

Hoping somebody can give me some advice.

For one reason and another I hadn't opened any post for over 12 months and when I finally did it I found out my Driving Licence had been revoked as I hadn't sent it to DVLA to have some points added.

I was allowed to continue driving for 12 months but this time has now passed (I haven't been driving for almost 18 months).

My question is, how do I get my driving licence back? Or am I actually able to?

Thanks

Id ask the dvla,

Why was it revoked?? if it was revoked because you got 6 points in the first two years after passing your test you will have to do the theory and practical test again.

Sorry I should've explained. I passed my test in 89 but in 2005 was given 6 points. i forgot to send my licence away to have the new points added so they have revoked my licence for that reason.

It`s not impossible. When I finally asked for help and went into rehab, I hadn`t opened my mail for over 6 months. The clinic was so impressed with the big pile I took in that they took a `photo of it and then helped me to deal with it. If you are afraid to open your mail, you try to ignore it. To the OP - I hope you have sorted out your reasons for the fear.

Yeah, I was a fool!! I was severly depressed, had my head in the sand and was too afriad to tackle it. It happens that is life.

Yes I have thanks, which is now why I'm rying to tackle the issues that are laft as a result of it. I had 3 black bin bags of shredded post when I was finally able to find the courage to open it. Hope you are still on your track of recovery

Sorry - I didn't mean to be insensitive, I just couldn't imagine not opening post for a year (or not getting someone else to open it and deal with it.)

Anyway - Hope you are better now, and I agree with others that you should contact DVLA as soon as possible. To avoid their rip-off 1700, try ringing 01792 782341. Unless they've changed it, that is their geographic number.
