How to prepare for the DVLA medical exam for high risk offenders
Could you please tell me what a medical exam for high risk offenders entails? Is it just a blood test or is it urine and blood? Also what do they test for in the blood? I really need my licence for my disabled child and don't want to muck this up. Could you give me as much info as possible please?

You will need to give a sample of blood and sometimes they ask for urine specimen as well. There's an interview with the GP and a physical examination too.
There are some good suggestions in this post, so read them carefully and hopefully you're going to find something which can help you.
I know that cocaine stay in your system for up to 5 days. But the metabolite stay in your system for much longer.?! Does anybody know exactly how long the metabolites can linger in your system? And how long they take to be removed from the system.?? DVLA medical coming up very soon. And I used once two weeks ago.. absolutely devastated! I only have to do this, because when I first got my driving license, I told them that when I was a lot younger, I was addicted to heroin and now look every three years, 20 years down the line, I am still having to do it. Is degrading and it’s shameful.! Please can someone give me some advice, have used one night. I have done 10 home tests. I’m still testing positive on 100 mil sensitive tests! What is going on and how long should I wait because I haven’t got long?! Help please 🙏🏼
THC and Class A substance
How long does it take for THC and Class A substance to get out of your blood system? Have medical coming up, how long do you wait for your appointment with dvla doctor?
Class A 3 to 5 day and THC 30 to 90 days depends on potency and usage
Banned for alcohol misuse
Ok I've not been banned for drink driving!
I was banned for alcohol misuse I've never drunk and drove!
Do you know if I need a medical as I don't come under the high risk offenders?
If I do any pointers how to pass?
Milk thistle I've read and testosterone.
I've been drinking through my ban and I'm worried.
Is there a time limit for being a high risk offender?
I was banned from driving after refusing a breath test whilst riding a moped on a provisional license. This occurred some 25 years ago. I have not driven a car or motorcycle/moped since and have still not learned to drive.
I recently reapplied for my provisional license and have been told I have to take the 'High risk offender' medical - after 25 years! The conviction is clearly now 'Spent'.
Do I really have to go through the expense and delay of a DVLA medical after 25 years or is there a time limit we are not told about?
