hi, just thought you would like to know how my medical went last Monday. It was very straight forward, a couple of blood samples given, checked my liver, checked to see if I could walk straight, checked if I had hand tremors, checked my hand eye coordination and I was asked to fill out a couple of forms about my drinking habits. I'm pleased to say my new driving licence arrived in the post today!!

If you were a high risk offender, then yes you will still have to have a medical even though it was 12 years ago! You should declare it on the application form because they will know anyway from their records at the DVLA. I lost mine 11 years ago this October and had my medical yesterday, now waiting for results. Fingers crossed, if they don't give me my licence back because I've failed the medical I will be appealing.
