Driving ban???

[Clairelovesdogs]

Hi, I went to A and E due to fainting and was kept in. I was then discharged with no answers but the Cadiologist said to ring the DVLA as i shouldnt be driving. I didnt do this but stopped driving just in case. I have now fould out i have Hamimotos disease and have new meds. How do i get my medical updated so there are no insurance problems if i drive - as the cardios advice is on my notes?

Some states require physicians to contact the DMV.  I'm not sure I would want to take a chance of getting stopped and find out I was driving on a suspended license. An acquaintance of mine had her doctor turn her in, she was trying to get her license back and the last I heard from her she was trying to get a letter from the doctor releasing her to get her license. She said it was a lot easier getting suspended then it has been getting unsuspended.

I was told to let the DVLA know which i did.  I would contact your GP and also gets letters from Specialists explaining your condition and that you are ok to drive and submit to your insurance company. Always keep copies of everything you send as things can and do get lost.

 

We wish you well and please let us know how you get on. I do know from experience the DVLA take ages to reply and you do have to keep chasing them up.

 

Good luck
