Thought our medical was every year after 65 Bryan.

Bryanj:
The medicals are Ken, but after a "cardiac event" as they now call them you have to do an exercise ecg on a tredmill, or as i call it torture test, and that is every 3 yrs, we both know the medical is if you can stand, breath and see the wall you are probably ok.

Oddjob:
Believe it or not Bryan but they held my license renewal off me for 6 months because and I kid you not here.

1. Because my blood condition can cause liver damage and I'd had 3 liver ultrasound scans and one stated quite clearly "Non Alcoholic fatty tissue" they needed to make sure I wasn't an Alcoholic, despite the fact I don't drink and haven't really done for years. Around 3 -6 pints a year is my regular intake and only on hot days when the missus likes to sit in the garden and have a lager shandy.

2. Because of work related stress, due to the effect of the condition (for which I'm now suing my old employer as my condition is classed as a disability) I was prescribed anti-depressants, I'm now off them, they were worried that I may be suicidal. Asked questions of my doctor like Has he ever been sectioned? admitted to a mental hospital, talked of suicide, is he bi-polar etc

I now have my license back but I'm unsure if I'll ever drive an HGV again, did over 40 years of it and frankly I don't miss it that much. Might do a little near Xmas for some pocket money, might not.

Not sure if it's poor staff training or just plain inconsistency but a friend of mine had some sort of black out whilst driving to work demolishing a neighbours garage and writing off his Volvo in the process.
Police investigated, his licence was revoked by DVLA whilst they investigated following medical history disclosure  & medical he got his licence back within 6 months.
He used to drive a lwd Sprinter Van doing long distance parts deliveries.

About a year later he blacked out again on his way to work writting off his Vauxhall when it hit a lampost on the central grass verge. This time they "thought" he had a TIA he kept his licence returning to work a few weeks later.

Thankfully he has now retired so just does SDP driving.

Oddjob:
That's not good Ted, 2 blackouts and that shows he clearly has a condition that they haven't found yet. Yet they still allow him to drive a car, that's an accident waiting to happen IMO.
