Well Thank you 'williamgriffin' for your 'most helpful advice' why do you think is it a 'drink drive conviction' and it is classed as 'drink driving conviction' and for your information it is not.  I was asking for helpful advice not 'unhelpful' advice, if you cannot provide helpful advice then don't bother.  Also I would address your spelling/grammar as my Husband should be addressed as 'his' and not 'is'. 

It's very simple. CDT is a test that's required for high risk offenders before their licence return.

High risk means two drink-drive convictions within 10 years or a very high level when he was tested.

High CDT levels mean his average intake over the last few weeks has been high.

It is not black and white, but it is based on solid science.

If he wants his licence back, he needs to make a choice.

But remember in this case the husband hasn't been done for drink drive. 😉😉😉

It's possible that, as well as people who were actually caught and convicted, somebody who's seen his doctor for alcoholism has had that reported to DVLA and licence removed - which may then require a CDT to be returned...

But I can't see anything referring to CDT being used other than for medium-term alcohol use.

If that is the case then they're clearly not over their problem.

That I dont know. I've only read things on line and an elevated CDT is usually caused by excessive drinking, which if that is the case it needs to be addressed.
I'm not judging

You do realise that the readings you provided may not be relevant without the full history? The readings you gave were for someone with no history of alcohol abuse. If there is a history a different set apply. 

No, as I said I only read it on-line, I dont claim to be a expert. I did say they need to sort out the underlying issue.
May have been better to offer this type of information on your first post, or so the OP thinks

The OP would get better help giving the full story but somehow I don't think they will.
