Oh dear, sorry to hear that OP.
But I'm guessing you've either done a major offence or multiple minor offences so I guess it was avoidable?
Hopefully you can adapt and sort your transport arrangements out so you're still able to go about your normal business.
Good luck OP hope it works out for you  |

Ah right, in that case my apologies for leaping to a conclusion without knowing the full facts. In that case you really do have my sympathy, particularly if you've also lost your jobs!
Again I reiterate I hope it all works out for you! Good luck!

Are you having seizures or blackouts?
If so you'll need to be clear for 2yrs before they'll consider giving you your license back. |

I lost mine too, OP. Get a doctor's note - you'll be able to get a free bus pass and apply for a Disabled Rail Card which gives 1/3 off. It's a pain but we're liabilities on the road. Best not to risk it. |

Fair point, I'm sorry for wrongly assuming. It must be frustrating when it's something you have no control over. Your health is far more important though |

I had to do this. Had to inform DVLA. Luckily I've been seizure free for 5 years. DVLA know of my medical conditions, luckily I can still keep my license. |

"thanks guys really appreciate your help and advice ... i have my brain scan on the 18th of november so hopefully will know more then "
I recommend you read the 'bin lorry' thread in the Scotland room before you think your doctor is being harsh |

I have never said i thought he was being harsh have i?? i just said that i have lost my license and can't travel....
The bin lorry accident was national news so i don't need to read about it i already know about it... I'm not frustrated about losing my license I'm just frustrated at the whole situation which if you would like to know I'm more than happy to pm you and tell you... you then may get a better understanding as to why i haven't posted it on here as its very personal and very upsetting.... |

The reason I mentioned it was that the driver was caught behind the wheel of his car a few weeks ago, my post was in response to you asking 'thinking carefully how I can tell the doctor not to take it away again??' |

"Was the original accident your fault? If not, is your insurance company dealing with a claim for you? If so, keep all travel receipts & pass them to your Solicitor requesting you are reimbursed."

We also are legally responsible to inform the DVLA of medical reasons that would invalidate our license. It's ours and not the NHS responsibility to do this.
Op may have done nothing wrong whatsoever. |

It's hardly a punishment. You're obviously a risk to other drivers. |

There are specialist centres that can reassess fitness to drive, such as after brain injuries.
The NHS won't personally do this. If op would like to discuss this, then message me.
My previous post was written without seeing his explanation.
If there's litigation, then it is wise to retain as full anonymity as possible. Insurance companies will scour far and wide to discover information to wreck claims. |

"lets not assume hes lost it for being bad lad - some health conditions prevent you holding a driving license"
Very trie, and also understand the difference between a revocation and a disqualification - very different things.
A relative of mine lost his this way OP, had brain scans, sleep monitoring the lot because he had seizures, he had to be free of them for 2 years as someone else had said. Definitely naff that you have lost jobs over it though, very hard to take. |

A major accident that wasn't my fault and all the aftermath i have to deal with isn't a punishment?? |

There is also a major difference between using one's own car and being subject to public transportation.
If another party is at fault, then equivalent transport, such as reimbursement of taxis, would be closer than waiting for buses etc. |

But that wouldn't be financially responsible. The council offers a free bus pass, and that's enough really. Taxis are a luxury. |

i completley understand why I'm not allowed to drive, and its not that I'm pissed off about... I'm pissed of with the whole situation not just this... finically I'm screwed, now i have no jobs, no i have no car, the investigations are ongoing because of the nature of the accident... and none of it was my fault... thats what I'm pissed off about.... i have no intentions of driving at the minute after seeing what i saw that day i would never want to be the responsible party of an accident like that |

I don't know the ops circumstances. I am in the health field, not legal profession. Legally we usually mitigate our losses but also there is a case for like for like alternative provision, if we are prevented from doing something or lose something. After a serious health problem, it could likely be argued that someone needs transportation by motor vehicle more than ever. Some areas also have ineffective public transport.
People also may need to return to work, which is a way for them to mitigate their losses too, after traumatic brain injuries etc. Whilst normally able people could sustain this, it could be restrictive or prohibitive for someone affected like this.
Most people don't understand the implications for someone who's encountered neurological damage - it's a specialized field. But I do feel strongly in support of the op - about whom I know little - as he's facing a really tough time. And this whilst there is very little support for someone like him in our society.
Out of all the little niggles etc that people post here, his - coupled with his profile - is about as shining and inspirational as they come. Good luck op! |

Starbeck - I think there's a habit that some people presume the worst of others. And the opposite for themselves. My dad had a stroke and didn't drive afterwards but someone 'joked' he wasn't driving because of alcohol. It's people for you sometimes. |

Bad luck in having your licence revoked mate, im a professional driver, and I don't think I could handle not being able to drive.
If you need to talk and get it off your chest, ping me a message.
Some of us on here know what it's like, it's not nice when you have no control over such matters. |
