A milestone day today: many of you may recall I had a stroke in late June last year, and because I also had a number of absence seizures, the last on 2 July, I voluntarily surrendered my driving licence to the DVLA for a year.
Well, although navigating the reapplication process on the DVLA website and completing the various forms has been a nightmare, the DVLA don’t make it easy! The DV1 form has been completed, along with the correct (!!) medical questionnaire, supporting medical evidence and a supporting letter from my employer (Army HQ Andover) the tracked package was posted off yesterday and received by the DVLA today, so all being well the DVLA will expedite my reapplication and I will be driving my TRs from 2 July, and riding my motorbikes a few weeks later; I promised Bev I wouldn’t jump straight back on the bikes until I regained at least some modicum of roadcraft in the cars first……
The next Milestone will be returning to work, hopefully in June or July.
Fingers crossed!
Cheers,
Andrew

When all this Covid malarkey has tailed off, you could book an IAM taster session to get your driving or riding skills assessed. It's free.

Best wishes Andrew.
The IAM is a good idea.
Wishing you all the best

Great news Andrew.
I would be climbing the wall going a year without the bike

Best wishes Andrew, I hope you get back riding very soon.

Great stuff let's hope the DVLA pull their fingers out for you.

More to the point, it's good that your health has improved and you're up to driving/riding.

Glad to hear you got the proper paperwork in the end.
Good luck with the further recovery

Thanks folks, I'll remain optimistic but will still keep my finger's crossed.
I will look into the IAM as it seems a good idea.
Cheers, Andrew
