      Well done Paul and John!   I am 8 years out and now 63, and you are right, there is life after SAH.  Just make adjustments to what you did before. Change the way you do things, sometimes it will take a little longer and we each have our personal journey but we get there in the end - well done lads! I took early retirement and I wouldn't go back to work if they paid me - I love it!

      Thank you Johnnie! We are so pleased that the never ending banging of our heads against the Dvla wall is having some effect! The 88 page report compiled by the private Opthalmic consultant seems to have had an immediate impact- he was very clear that I should have a practical test.    My test will probably be in Chester. I will ring the Dvla tomorrow to ask if it’s possible to get a provisional licence before the test- the form I’ve filled in clearly states it’s just for the test.    Thank you for all your support and positive comments- appreciate it.

      That is, if I may say, wonderful news Finollie!! Yay! We have lots of advice on the practical assessment but we can let you know more when it is in the diary. Once you have applied then make sure you ask the assessment centre for a cancellation. Let us know where you'll be doing it as someone here may already have attended that centre. I did mine in Carshalton in SE London.   It may also be sensible to ask the DVLA if you could have a provisional licence until you get your assessment done. I had one for about three weeks before my assessment and it really helped my confidence on the road and particularly enabled me to pinpoint if there were deficiencies of which I needed to be aware. You'll have to have L Plates, always be accompanied by someone who has had a clean licence for 3 years + and you cannot go on Motorways. Give them a call and see what they say.   Come back here when you have a date for the provisional and we can tell you all about the assessment.   Excellent end to my working day!!

      Hi Johnnie/Ally/ all   Quick update on my sons recent Estermann test. More improvement.  Still falling just short of the 50degrees DVLA criteria but full central vision & a very good clear central line. Peripheral vision present after 80degrees too 👍🏼     Moving forward and hope DVLA consider his exceptional case application.    So thankful to this site.    All the the best for 2019   Lyne
