just got my license asweel m8..no correspondence towards the medical or anything

Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!Really pleased for you m8.You obviously done everything right leading up to your medical, like obstaining from drinking for a good few months the same as what i did..Some people still cant get their head around that if you use to drink quite a lot then you have to obstain from it for a good few months before your medical( i did 5 months)..We it seems are the brighter ones.. Happy driving in july m8..Drive safe and enjoy, it will be like passing your driving test all over again!!:D:D

Wait about ten to fifteen working days m8..try not to worry:)

Hi over rover m8..they just send your license through the post mate..I had mine back after only ten days of my medical:)

i cannot remember if they send you out a letter or not m8 to be honest, with how long ago it was for me and all the rigmorale that i went through i cant honestly remember..but i got all my insuranse done and everything, until they told me that i had failed..dont worry about the old bill m8..if you get pulled then your license is going through the re-apply process..nothing to worry about, and you can 100% DRIVE WHILE WAITING FOR YOUR DECISION>>

Are you sure your not called FRANK CALLAGHER linda..lol..

Hi jay..you are allowed to drive when your ban is up, even if your license has not come through the post, because the dvla are processing it..I know they are arse holes, but they are right on this one m8..I had the same a year ago when they were still processing mine..

To my knowledge mate, i would say that they would send it out to you, but they will specify that your ban remains in place until that date..

HI Jay..Stop worrying mate, by the sounds of it you have done all the right things by preparing for your medical after stopping drinking for as long as you have and by taking the milk thistle..I stopped for 5 months and took milk thistle on about 3 months of that..On the milk thistle thing, keep taking it up until the day before your medical, and i would not declare it, as i didnt..All it is, is a health supplement, and thats it..Just the same as taking a vitamin tablet everyday etc.. I think we all have this conception, including myself, that the dvla medical being as they are would look upon taking this AS HAVING SOME SOUGHT OF DRINKING PROBLEM, where as we know in ourselves that we have taken it just to make sure that any slight damage done to the liver through alcohol can be recovered and put the limits with which they test for in the correct ranges..Hope this settles you down a bit..Am sure you will pass with no problems at all, and expect your license through the post within 10 days of your medical..Happy driving

im sure you will be fine m8

Hi brum no 1..This 1 reading will not fail you if the other 3 readings which the dvla test for are within their recommended limits..You are allowed to fail 1 out of the 4..Levels are as below.. GAMMA GT UPPER REF RANGE 50 ASPARTATE TRANSAMINISE (AST) UPPER REF RANGE 40 MCV UPPER REF RANGE 98 ALT UPPER REF RANGE 40 BLOOD ALCOHOL (if assayed) mg/100ml.. These are the levels that the dvla sent to me when i first failed my medical with my figures next to them to say why i had failed.. I have been told by the dvla myself that these figures can fluctuate from medical lab to medical lab when the blood sample is analysed..But i cant see them changing by that much to be honest.. Hope this helps..p.s get some pure milk thistle tablets which will clear out your liver and reduce your figures..

you Piers Morgan
